Things to Do
Take a boat ride on the amazing Periyar Lake, surrounded by thick forested hills, to savor its beauty. You can opt for bamboo rafting and cruise the waters in the traditional way. This also promises to be wild and exciting!
Settle in the activity centre enjoying various games and activities. Or pick up a book from the library and settle down for a good read.
Ask for an elephant ride to experience the jungle. Sitting on the elephant, many feet above the ground, gives a unique perspective of the jungle.
The best way to explore Thekkady is to go on long walks on the winding roads. Wind your way through the spice gardens growing cardamom, cinnamon, clove and black pepper.
Developed as an exclusive ecotourism project by the Kerala Forest Development Corporation, Gavi has shot to fame after ‘Alistair International', the world acclaimed tourism major, listed the destination among the leading eco-tourism centers.
An outskirt of the Periyar tiger reserve with stunning view points and meadows and often wild animals are sighted here.
Kalari is a traditional martial art, while Kathakali is the dance art form of Kerala. You can enjoy both of these while you holiday at the resort.
Sign up for a jungle trek and head into the wild forests for a session of gazing on thick foliage and animals that abound the forests around. However, this experience is unavailable in the monsoons.
