In the afternoon, visit the Thread Garden, an impressive collection of flowers and plants made entirely out of thread.

Recommendations

Don't miss out on a visit to the Pykara Lake and Waterfalls, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and a chance to see some local wildlife.
