Participants will be guided through outdoor areas with some uneven ground, so appropriate footwear and clothing are recommended. The event requires a torch and mosquito repellent to enhance comfort and safety during the night walk.
Caregivers are expected to supervise children at all times and help maintain a respectful and calm atmosphere throughout the experience.
