While not on the Trisuli River, this somewhat remote and low-key operation offers an appealing program of trekking, birdwatching and cultural activities for those seeking to get off the beaten track. It's a two- to three-hour walk from the highway – a guide will meet you there. You’ll need to make a reservation before visiting.
