Gavi eco-tourism project.
In its first year of inception
itself, Gavi Eco-Tourism, a project of the Kerala Forest Development Corporation
in Pathanamthitta has caught the attention of tourists, mostly from European
countries.The project is exclusive in many respects and the
majority who visited were nature lovers and adventure tourists. Gavi Eco-Tourism
will soon find a place in the list of leading eco-tourism centers acknowledged
by the world-acclaimed tourism major Alistair International.
A highlight of the Gavi eco project is the involvement of the local populace in
its activities as guides, gardeners and cooks.This will provide livelihood for
the locals and also will help to create awareness on conservation of nature.
Gavi offers its visitors activities like trekking, wildlife watching, outdoor
camping in specially built tents, and night safaris. Gavi can be reached via the
Vandiperiyar-Vallakadavu route and the Moozhiyar-Kakki-Anathode-Kochu Pampa
