Check-in at the suspension bridge
Before entering the village's territory, you'll pass through a suspension bridge spanning the legendary Serepok River. Although the bridge is made from traditional bamboo materials, the sturdy reinforcement by the locals ensures safety as you step onto it. The bridge is hooked onto ancient banyan trees, with their large leafy branches providing ample shade, covering most of the bridge. Therefore, even under the scorching sun of the Central Highlands, you'll still feel the cool and pleasant atmosphere.
