Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Forest Region.

Plan your visit during the dry season (November to February) for easier trekking and wildlife spotting.
Hire a local guide to navigate the forests safely and gain deeper insights into the flora, fauna, and culture.
Wear long sleeves and pants to protect against insects and bring a good pair of hiking boots.
Respect the local customs and traditions of the indigenous tribes you may encounter.
Carry enough water and snacks, as amenities can be sparse in the deeper forest areas.
