It is basically walking around a jungle full of flora and fauna with a guide explaining about all the inhabitant of the forest. At the end of the trip, you will experience canopy walk that is guaranteed with spectacular view of the forest.

Besides research activities, this institute also provides other out activities including jungle trekking and canopy walk. These are the main attraction for most visitors.
