Jungle Avonture Tree Huts and Lakes
(South Thailand)

We are pleased to offer this excellent tropical rain forest adventure in Khao Sok National Park - a spectacular location where dripping rain forest covers majestic limestone mountains interspersed with sparkling streams and waterfalls. This is your opportunity to participate in an all-inclusive tour and explore the southern rain forest accompanied by local guides. Accommodation on the Tree Tops Jungle Safari is an adventure in itself, tree houses high in the jungle canopy and bamboo raft houses in an isolated setting on a superb lake, both basic but comfortable.
