Community
Our Vision of Eco-Friendly Tourism
Being a Riverside camp or Jungle Trek, Alafiia finds itself responsible to promote eco-friendly tourism and preserve the ecosystem. Throwing plastic cups, plates, or plastic packets in the riverside or during the trek or inside the camp is strictly prohibited. we also count for every drop of water and try not to waste as much as we can. Hunting animals or hurting birds are something that we strictly condemn.
Tips to remember
- Though there are mobile charging facilities available, do bring your mobile power bank to avoid inconveniences.
- Since it is a remote area, the mobile network is not too strong. (But that adds up the hype of adventure even more! Not always we get a chance to get detached from all chaos going around us.)
- Do bring a torch, and always carry it while you are walking along with the river at night.
- Carry ID prof, Medicine, Easy dry cloth
- For this trail, you need to prepare yourself or your body strength in advance.
