The best activities in Gavi Forest for 2026 include: 1. Forest Jeep Safari (2.5 hours) to spot wild elephants and bison. 2. Guided Jungle Trekking to the Sabarimala Viewpoint. 3.

Gavi Forest: The “Untouched” Experience

Gavi is a strictly regulated eco-tourism zone. Entry is restricted to a limited number of vehicles per day, making it a peaceful haven for nature lovers.

1. Deep Forest Jeep Safari & Wildlife

The 28 km drive from the Vallakkadavu checkpost to Gavi is a safari in itself. Keep your eyes peeled for the Nilgiri Tahr, Lion-tailed Macaque, and herds of wild elephants.

2. Jungle Trekking & Hidden Falls

Accompanied by local “Elephant Chasers” (Patanki men), you can trek to Chenthamara Kokka or the Sabarimala Viewpoint. These trails often lead to Hidden Falls, where you can take a refreshing “Jungle Bath” in crystal-clear mountain streams.

3. Boating & Elephant Museum

Row-boating on the emerald waters of Gavi Lake is the ultimate way to unwind. Afterward, visit the unique Animal Skeleton Museum to learn about the biodiversity of the Periyar Tiger Reserve.
