Use this guide to plan accommodation near the area and compare exact property locations. This page currently provides planning advice rather than a hotel shortlist.

Choose a location for your plans

Arrive at your chosen forest-side base, confirm the walk with the guide, and allow a separate morning for slow observation. Leave time for the onward road transfer.

Arrival and local access

Choose the forest entrance before reserving accommodation and transport. Different approaches are not interchangeable on a short visit.

Compare the room, not only the headline rate

Ask for a quote for your dates and occupancy, identifying the room, meals, taxes, payment schedule and cancellation terms. Confirm any facilities that matter to you directly with the property.

  • Actual room and bed arrangement
  • Transport from the property to your planned visits
  • Current photographs and any access requirements

Plan time beyond the hotel

Expect to plan for rain and changing trail conditions. Ask a local guide about your intended route and the current access arrangements. Stay on permitted routes and arrange access and guiding with the relevant authority or local provider.
