Zaru valley is currently being prepared as an eco-tourism destination. It is hoped that there will be hiking and camping available within the national park before winter 2008. The main route will be around the sacred Zha Yi Zha Ga Mountain in Zaru Valley.

Eco-tourism hiking tickets will be available at the ticket office and you will then be brought to Zaru Valley. Each group of tourists will be assigned a guide. It will not be possible to hike without a guide.
