This walkway in the midst of the forest gives you view of lush green forest and beautiful wildlife. With a maximum of 10 people for the walk at a time and two each can stand on the different platforms there to watch the life around. The forest department is very keen to let people enjoy the canopy walk area by collecting nominal fees. The tariff will be decided in the coming days. Its expected that either Jungle Lodges and Resorts or the Tourism Department will run the canopy walk.
