Gavi is one of Kerala’s quietest forest escapes. Misty hills, cardamom slopes and a calm reservoir shape this unspoiled corner of the Western Ghats. The Gavi tour package by Travelnote Holidays brings all of it into one easy, relaxing trip.
The plan is simple. Travellers stay two nights in Thekkady and spend their days in the wild. Moreover, every activity is arranged in advance, so guests can simply enjoy the journey.
A peaceful boat ride across still waters makes a perfect finish to the two-night trip.

What the Gavi Tour Package Includes
The package covers three highlights. Each one shows a different side of the forest.
1. Jeep Safari to Gavi
First, the adventure begins with a two-hour jeep safari from Woodnote Resorts. The route winds through the Gavi forest, past thick greenery and open clearings.
With a little luck, guests may spot:
- Nilgiri Tahr
- Lion-tailed macaque
- Wild elephants
- Over 260 bird species, including the great pied hornbill, woodpeckers and kingfishers
For bird lovers, this ride is a real treat. Keep a camera ready and stay quiet, because the forest rewards patient eyes.
2. Trekking in Gavi
Next comes the trek. After registration and breakfast, guests set out along jungle paths.
Along the way, the trail offers several stops:
- The Sabarimala viewpoint, with sweeping hill views
- A cardamom plantation, where the air smells fresh and sweet
- A curing house, which shows how the spice is processed
- A small local museum with preserved animal skeletons
Because the walk is gentle, most travellers can manage it. Nevertheless, comfortable shoes are a must.
3. Boating on Gavi Lake
Finally, the trip ends on the water. A boat ride across the Gavi reservoir and the Kochupamba River is a peaceful finish. The only sounds are birdsong and soft ripples.
Many guests say this is the moment the whole trip settles in. The lake is calm, and the hills reflect in its waters.

Travel Tips for a Smooth Trip
A few simple habits make the journey more enjoyable.
- Wear light, full-coverage clothes and sturdy shoes.
- Carry water, sunscreen, and a rain jacket.
- Keep binoculars handy for birdwatching.
- Book early, since forest activities have limited slots.
Also, mornings are the best time for wildlife. So an early start often pays off.
Make It Bigger: Pair Gavi with Vagamon
Some travellers want a longer holiday. In that case, the Thekkady–Gavi–Vagamon package adds rolling hills and pine-covered meadows. Alternatively, explore Vagamon on its own.
