The coastal, backwater stretch of Mayyanad promises a different kind of camping close to the open water of the sea and the quiet shorelines of the lake. The environment of the camp is fresh and bright with the airy skies and the sound of water reaching even the depths of the night. It is not deep jungle camping, but instead, it is focused on the openness and the calm.
This place is the best for people who love to see the sea and the cool night air. The flat land makes the work of setting up a tent very easy and the place around feels more like a big open area than a small one which is enclosed.
