Gear up with a harness, helmet and hold on to the strong ropes; those are the simplest instructions anyone attempting a spot of aerial roping is bound to receive. In Phuket’s Flying Hanuman adventure however, they take safety more seriously, hence if you choose to monkey around some forty feet above a jungle the instructors and guides are definitely going to put you through an informative session where your life skills will be sharpened, your knowledge about carbineers and pulleys enhanced and your watchfulness improved.
Once the briefing is complete and everyone is snug in their safety gear, shirts and hair tucked in, brimming with courage and bursting with enthusiasm the climbing begins. Up the trees, across the bridges, along the ropes dangling from the sky, sometimes even up side down the trail is tough but smooth thanks to the wise words that were drilled in at the start.
The evergreens below beset on a mountainous region are a breathtaking sight, therefore relax and feast your eyes on the sights below once in a way. At other times keep focused, but know that the maximum safety has been provided. Regardless of whether you are winding up the spiral staircase, abseiling or clinging on to a platform every precaution has been taken to ensure there can be no health or safety hazards.
The name is derived from an old regional legend of a monkey known as ‘Hanuman’ who is considered a brave and valiant hero. The movements way above the ground give the visitors a feeler of the great Hanuman’s escapades and the rush of blood through their veins keep everyone feeling younger and more energetic while the wilderness walk is the less spine tinkling activity of the entire line up.
This is one aspect of Phuket that most guests do not know to expect, but no stay at a Phuket resort is complete without a challenge taken at the Flying Hanuman. The adventure site which takes up almost a day can be easily accessed from anyPhuket beach resort. The preferred home for in Phuket for most holiday makers is Anantara Phuket Resort, Thailand.
