The geographical location is remote and the network signal coverage is poor. The venue is quite large, with complete facilities, and the tour time is about one and a half hours.

Jenny's love for this place was fully demonstrated in his tour. He took us to drink fresh white cardamom juice (a great surprise, I loved it), to the art installations in the rice fields, and to have afternoon tea with an unbeatable mountain view by the rice fields (the lemon juice was spiced, which was unexpected)

I had the most enchanting visit to the Butterfly Farm! From the moment I stepped through the gates, I was surrounded by an array of colorful butterflies fluttering all around. The farm is beautifully maintained, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, creating the perfect environment for these delicate creatures to thrive.
