Flying Hanuman recommends wearing closed-toe shoes with good traction, so there for if it rains you will not slip on the terrain, comfortable clothing that allows for free movement and breathing, and you should wear form-fitting clothes to have more proper zipline comfortability.
If you decide to wear loose-fitting clothing you will need to secure long hair and loose items that could become entangled in the zipline equipment. This is why we suggest wearing form-fitting comfort clothing. Additionally, it’s advisable to wear sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the tropical sun.
