One of the most unusual tours - once we reached the foothills of Bana hills, of course the guide took us through the shopping area at Sunworld to get to the cable car. Quaint little shops with local produce and souvenirs, cashews to raw silk, everything is covered. We got on the cable car and then the ride up was equal to any other if not more beautiful than Switzerland. The flow of people at the Golden Hand bridge was 5-6 km times 6 people wide and quite amazing to be in. There are pretty gardens with lovely flower creations all over the area. Rolled coconut ice cream is a refreshing treat and a must try up there. The French village is gorgeous- great options for food and beer at the Brewery. Surprisingly every cuisine is represented at this castle enclosed village. Getting around is actually quite simple and a guid was not required. The ride back was equally scenic and the weather quite cool. Sunscreen and hats are so necessary. People were warm and friendly all through the tour.
