Find HotelsIf you have more time, consider staying overnight at a nearby eco‑resort to explore the surrounding tea plantations and enjoy a sunrise trek. To shorten the trip, skip the Adventure Park and focus on the Eco‑Park and Ropeway, which still provide a rich experience within a half‑day schedule.
