Join us on this hiking adventure, and learn to make the bamboo raft and bamboo rice cooking.
We are going to hike 6km in the evergreen forest into the jungle across the stream, cross the hill to the campsite next to the river. After that, the ranger will show us how to build a raft from bamboo. We are going from scratch, from selecting, cutting and tie them in together. We will enjoy our night looking at the stars next to the fire we built, eating the meal that is made by bamboo pot streamers.
