An adrenaline-pumping attraction in Chiang Mai

Treetops and zip wires but strangely, no monkeys-await adventurers in the high-altitude experience known as Flight of the Gibbon. Unlike the thrill of bungee jumping that is sudden but short, the zip wire has participants for three hours hanging in the air. The adrenaline rush is endless!

Since its introduction, this unique attraction remains a huge success among adventurous travellers. Flight of the Gibbon features 15 lofty platforms connected by “sky bridges” and nearly 1.5 mile of zip wire across varied layers of the rainforest landscape. Gravity works overtime zipping travellers across the woods along the wires, to which they’re hooked with pulleys and harnesses.

If you visited the museums in Chiang Mai City, relaxed at Wat Phra Singh and explored the historic old town on foot, then it should be time for a reward by going wild in the pristine rainforest!
