The Gibbon Experience​

Founded back in 2004, the Gibbon Experience is first and foremost a conservation project that helps protect part of the national park. The project sustains itself by inviting tourists to make the journey deep into the jungle and stay overnight in wooden huts at the top of high trees – allegedly the highest treehouses in the world. During the day, visitors explore vast expanses, traveling above the forest on a crazy 15 kilometers of a zip line, as well as going on some hiking adventures on the jungle floor too.​ The project's conservation programme involves forestation and wildlife protection efforts to promote biodiversity protection in the park.​
