The resort consists of simple rustic bamboo rafts, lovely build and decorated only with natural materials. Every visitor immediately feels in harmony with the nature, which is breathtakingly unfolding around the rafts - jungle covered mountains on both sides of the river. There is no electricity on the rafts, kerosene lamps are provided in the evening. In the middle of the raft-chain there is an open restaurant.
