The canopy walk is a hanging walkway strung between tall trees in the heritage forest, a short walk from the village road. It takes you up into the middle and upper branches, where moss, ferns and orchids grow on old trunks. Below, the forest floor is dark and still.

The walk is short but feels high. It sways a little underfoot. Morning is the best time, when birds are active and the light filters through the leaves. Afterwards, walk the forest paths around it.

The walkway is closed for repairs from time to time; ask locally before you go.

Questions travellers ask

Good to know

Can children do the Lolegaon canopy walk?

Yes, most children enjoy it, but keep small children close and hold their hands. The walkway sways and has gaps between planks, so it is not suitable for toddlers on their own. Older children usually love it. Follow any rules on the number of people allowed at once.

How long is the canopy walk?

It is a short walk, and most visitors spend 15–30 minutes on the walkway itself, longer if they stop for photos or birds. Add time to explore the heritage forest paths around it. Allow about an hour in total from the village.

Is the canopy walk open all year?

It is usually open in the main season, but it closes from time to time for repairs or in bad weather, especially in the monsoon. Ask your homestay or check locally on the day. Rules and fees can change. Check current status before you travel.
