Know Before You Go
- For the self-drive trip, all drivers must have a driving license with them. Should any participants not pass the training course / test, the trip provider reserves the right to not allow them to drive on the small roads and the guides / trainers decisions are always final in these cases. We take safety very seriously and whilst the Tuk Tuks are very easy to drive and the routes designed to be on small, quiet roads that are suitable for such an experience, should anyone not be able to show sufficient driving skills during the training session we reserve the right to ask that they do not drive during the day.
- These Tuk Tuks are specially built for the job and are bigger and more comfortable - with better views - than a normal city Tuk Tuk
- Wear comfortable that is suitable for trekking and also temple-appropriate clothes (cover chest, stomach, knees and shoulders)

What to bring
- Extra money for extra snack and drink
- Umbrella, hat or cap and sun screen (for sunny day)
- Umbrella or rain jacket (for rainy day, just in case)
