Walk to the hanging bridge at Suntalekhola
Suntalekhola lies a few kilometres above Samsing, where a clear stream runs through forest towards the Murti. The forest corporation cottages are on the far side of a narrow hanging footbridge, and the walk across with the water below is a highlight for children.
Spend an hour by the stream watching for forktails, redstarts and kingfishers, and walk a little way along the road through the trees. Do not climb on wet rocks, which are slippery, and keep out of the water after rain.
Questions travellers ask
Good to know
How far is Suntalekhola from Samsing?
A few kilometres up the road from Samsing village, about 15 minutes by car or under an hour on foot. Ask your homestay for the walking route and how long it takes from your door. The road is narrow, so keep to the side.
Is the hanging bridge safe?
It is a small, maintained footbridge that sways a little. Walk across one or two at a time, hold the side ropes or rails and keep children close. Do not cross if the bridge is closed for repairs.
Can day visitors go to Suntalekhola?
Yes, day visitors can walk to the stream and the bridge. The cottages themselves are for staying guests. Respect the lodge's rules, keep noise down near the rooms and carry your litter back with you. Arrive by car from Samsing or walk up the road in about an hour.
