The Programme
Our programme involves a close interaction with the nature. We have excellent trails through the midst of Evergreen Forests to our camping sites at Meenar & Valley view. The trekking course passes through dense patches of forests where even at mid-day sunlight struggles to penetrate, where elephants roam free and where man meets nature truly in all it’s majesty and glory. For those in need of peace, we organize a rowing expedition to Paradise Cove where you will be enthralled by the beauty of wild flowers and where silence is broken only by the music of birds. For wild life enthusiast, the treks can be doubly rewarding. Wild life sighting is ensured.

Our night safaris are also an occasion to observe the wild side of nature. A drive to the Pampa  dam or to Pachakkanam at night and you may be rewarded with the best that a tropical rain forest can offer  you after dusk .

Golden Rules Of Eco Tourism

• Do not insist on Wild Life sighting. They are not at the disposal of humans.
• Keep silence during trekking. Even a subdued whisper can alert the Wild Life of the Human Presence.
• Wildlife and natural habitats must not be needlessly disturbed.
• Early Mornings and late afternoons are best suited for animal sightings.
• Do not wander away from the jungle camps. Pay heed to your guides always. Activities in jungle water bodies without permission of the guides will be risky. Do not litter. Smoking not solicited. Take only memories back home.

Green Mansions

The Forest Lodge at conjures up the essence of the place-tranquillity amidst  the abundance of nature. The cool breeze from the Gavi Lake, the gentle whistle of the Malabar whistling thrush or the raucous cry of the Nilgiri Langur will keep you company as you wander the grounds in perfect harmony with nature. You could take a lazy stroll around, go row boating on  lake or trek for hours in the breath taking beauty of the evergreen canopy… all awaits you at the climax of your safari to Green Mansions from the Forest Check post at Vallakadavu, that safari itself being the prologue to the wonderland.

For the more adventurous-minded, we have a programme of camping in the wilderness at Meenar where elephants trumpet their supremacy in the still of night! Or at valley view with its spectacular view of the Chenthamarakokkai-a deep ravine with dense forest below or even trek to the sacred Pampa Hills where the Nilgiri Thars prance around in gay abandon, where God Ayappa
