6 Kerala Offbeat Tour Package With Gavi Forest | Untamed
Overview
This kerala offbeat tour package with gavi forest is built around a route that most Kerala itineraries never reach. Munnar and Alleppey are familiar anchors — the hill station and the houseboat night that most visitors plan. What this package adds is Gavi, the deep forest eco-zone inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve in Pathanamthitta district, sitting at around 1,036 metres and accessible only by Forest Department permit and KFDC jeep. Gavi has been featured by Alistair International as one of India’s best eco-tourism centres. It is not a wildlife park with viewing platforms — it is active reserve forest where cardamom plantations, shola grasslands and river valleys sit inside a protected buffer. This kerala offbeat tour package with gavi forest is for the traveller who wants the third layer of Kerala.
Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme for this kerala offbeat tour package with gavi forest from Kochi Airport arrival. The private AC Innova Crysta covers all road transfers throughout. Five nights accommodation — two at Munnar, one at Thekkady, one at Gavi forest camp, one Alleppey houseboat night — daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis. Gavi Forest Department entry permits, KFDC jeep charges, Periyar boat ride entry, houseboat lunch and evening tea on the Alleppey night and all sightseeing transfers are included. The per person cost of this kerala offbeat tour package with gavi forest is ₹22,700.

Best Time to Visit
October to March is recommended for this Munnar-Thekkady-Gavi-Alleppey route. Gavi's forest trails open up and wildlife movement peaks in the post-monsoon dry season from October, while the Alleppey backwaters are calmest between November and February. Monsoon from June to September restricts Gavi trail access and turns the houseboat cruise rough rather than calm.
