Gavi is one of Kerala’s most untouched eco-tourism treasures, tucked deep inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve’s buffer zone. If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into a forest that feels alive—with mist floating over the valleys, rare wildlife moving silently between the trees, and birds calling through untouched silence—Gavi is where those dreams come alive.

At Travelcart, our gavi tour packages are designed for travellers who want more than a trip—they want an experience. And Gavi delivers exactly that.

A Journey That Begins at Dawn

Your adventure starts early morning, because Gavi belongs to the wild, not to our schedules.
To truly meet the forest, we must arrive during its waking hours.

Hop into our comfortable safari jeep as we begin the 40+ km ride through lush tea estates, cardamom plantations, mist-covered valleys, and rolling hills. This is the only jeep safari route through the Periyar Tiger Reserve, making the journey itself an unforgettable experience.

Every turn feels like nature revealing a new secret.

A Road Through the Heart of the Jungle

As we move deeper into the reserve, the landscape changes—plantations fade, and the wild takes over. The jeep trail passes through:

• Evergreen forests

• Open grasslands

• Mist-filled valleys

• Waterfalls and streams

• Untouched wilderness rarely seen by tourists

This route gives a rare chance to witness the Periyar ecosystem up close, with forest sounds surrounding you and fresh mountain air filling your lungs.

Wildlife You May Encounter

Gavi is a paradise for wildlife lovers. Keep your eyes alert—nature rewards those who observe silently.

You may spot:

• Malabar giant squirrel, leaping between treetops

• Nilgiri langur, with its golden mane

• Great hornbill, flying with a whooshing sound that echoes through the forest

• Asian fairy bluebird, glowing in brilliant blue

• Sambar deer and gaur, grazing in herds

• Slender loris, shy and rarely seen

• Black baza, a stunning raptor

• Butterflies of stunning colours, unique to the Western Ghats

And if nature favours you, you might spot the Nageia wallichiana—a prehistoric tree species found nowhere else in the Western Ghats.

Every sighting feels like a gift.

A Destination Blessed With Serenity

Once you reach Gavi, enjoy a wholesome breakfast surrounded by forest silence.
Then, your guided forest trek begins—around 4 hours in total (2 hours each way). The trail passes through pristine forest paths, bamboo groves, and viewpoints that make you pause in awe.

One of the highlights is the viewpoint overlooking the sacred Sabarimala Temple—the only spot from where you can see the temple without visiting it. The view is serene, spiritual, and deeply moving.

A Day That Stays in Your Heart

By the time we return, with memories of birds, mist, forests, and wildlife still fresh in your mind, you’ll realise something beautiful—you didn’t just visit a forest.

You met Mother Nature herself.
And her name is Gavi. 🌿

Our gavi tour packages ensure a safe, organised, and deeply immersive experience that connects you with the soul of the Western Ghats.
