Adavi Eco-Tourism – Experience the Thrill of Coracle Boating in the Lush Forests of Pathanamthitta
Adavi, located near the hill town of Konni in Pathanamthitta district, Kerala, is a must-visit destination for Nature lovers and adventure seekers. This picturesque eco-tourism spot is famous for its unique coracle boat rides, also known as bowl boats, which take visitors on a serene journey through the clear waters of the Kallar river. The 5-km river stretch provides breathtaking views of lush greenery and pristine landscapes. Visitors can choose between a short and long boat ride, making it a perfect outing for families and solo adventurers alike.
Apart from coracle boating, Adavi also offers other eco-friendly activities, including trekking through the verdant forests, where you can explore hidden natural beauty. Treehouse stays deep within the forest allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in the tranquil environment.
The Adavi Eco-Tourism project, launched by the Forest and Tourism Departments, is part of the Konni Eco-Tourism initiative and provides an unforgettable experience for all visitors. The best time to visit is the monsoon season when the river is full, offering an even more scenic and adventurous ride.
