Established to promote conservation and sustainable ecotourism, the reserve offers visitors a chance to explore pristine trails, guided wildlife observation tours, and birdwatching adventures led by local communities committed to preserving the natural heritage. Notable attractions include the forest canopy walkway, enabling unique views of the multi-layered forest, and several indigenous communities with cultural storytelling and eco-lodges nearby.
