Are you eager to walk through mist-shrouded mountain roads, spot rare wildlife, and explore off-road trails? Team Yathri Holidays introduces the premier 1-night, 2-day Gavi Sathram tour package, featuring an immersive journey into Kerala’s magnificent forest reserves. Available for weekend departures on 29 AUG, 26 SEP, and 30 OCT 2026, this weekend eco-adventure blends the serenity of pristine lake boating with an adrenaline-pumping off-road jeep safari across rolling green meadows.
Day 1: Journey to the Canopy – Thrissur to the Gavi Wilderness
Our nature expedition starts early in the morning as we board our comfortable air-conditioned coach to head into the Western Ghats:
- 06:00 AM: Prompt departure from Thrissur toward Gavi.
Mountain Transit and Forest Guest House Check-In
Enjoy a delicious breakfast at a quality restaurant along our travel route before entering the protected eco-tourism zones. As the air becomes cool and crisp, we arrive at our deep-forest destination. Check into the official Forest Guest House, unpack your belongings, and unwind completely surrounded by nature. Gather with your travel group for a freshly prepared, authentic local lunch.
Afternoon Lake Boating & Wilderness Trekking
Once refreshed, our guided outdoor eco-activities begin:
- Scenic Gavi Dam Boating: Glide across the peaceful waters of the Gavi Dam, soaking in panoramic views of dense, undisturbed jungle shorelines.
- Light Forest Trekking: Embark on an educational guided walk through designated forest trails to witness rare plant species, colorful butterflies, and wild orchids.
Campfire and Dinner Under the Stars
As dusk settles over the trees, gather around a cozy evening campfire. Share stories with your fellow adventurers while enjoying a warm, delicious buffet dinner under a clear night sky. Retire to your room for a peaceful overnight stay at the Gavi Forest Guest House.
Traveler’s Note: Accommodations are provided on a double-sharing basis in comfortable forest guest house rooms. If you are traveling solo, you will share a room on a twin or triple sharing basis depending on availability. If no other single traveler is available to share, a Single Supplement charge will apply.
Day 2: Deep-Forest Bus Safari and Thrilling Sathram Jeep Ride
Early Morning Forest Bus Safari
Awaken early to the sounds of nature and board our morning bus safari through the deep forest reserve. This is the ideal hour to watch the wilderness wake up—keep your eyes open to catch glimpses of wild elephants, Malabar giant squirrels, or rare Nilgiri langurs along the path. Return to the guest house to enjoy breakfast before completing your room check-out.
Exploring Sathram Viewpoint & Off-Road Jeep Safari
We leave the dense canopy to explore the expansive, rolling hillsides of Sathram:
- Sathram Jeep Safari: Board rugged local 4×4 jeeps for an exhilarating off-road safari across hidden trails, steep ridges, and lush meadows.
- Scenic Viewpoints: Pause at panoramic ridge-lines to take breathtaking photographs of the valley below.
Return Journey to Kaloor
After a thrilling afternoon exploring the hills, we board our main vehicle and begin our smooth drive back toward the lowlands. Arrive back in Kaloor around 8:00 PM, carrying a refreshed spirit and beautiful memories of your weekend escape.
Pro-Tip: Check-in time at the guest house is 14:00 hours, and check-out is at 12:00 hours. Because Gavi and Sathram are highly protected eco-zones, plastic littering is strictly banned—please carry a reusable water bottle.
