The entire journey of the Skytrail Jungle trek takes tourists through a series of stopover along the way. A basic trip package would begin by including a trip to the ‘ Oriental Village,’ a geo forest park in the region. You will next hop onto a cable car and ride all the way to the middle of the station.

During the course of the ride, tourists can soak in the mesmerizing aura of the coarse dense jungle right below them. Next up, would be a trail to the ‘Sky Bridge,’ as you make your way up to the mountain peak, which also happens to be the top of the station.
