Activities :For the adventure sport buffs, the camp offers a host of
activities such as whitewater rafting on Kali River, Kayaking,
Mountain biking, Trekking. Mountain biking, jungle safaris and
trekking are the other activities.
Wildlife :The camp is
surrounded by some of the finest moist deciduous forests. These
forests support a fine assortment of wildlife. Though sighting of
large mammals is infrequent, the occasional Sambar, Wild Dog,
Malabar Giant Squirrel, and the Flying Squirrel are seen. However,
the lack of mammal sighting is more than compensated by the plethora
of birds that are seen here. Even while being in the camp one can
see endemics like the Malabar Grey Hornbill and the Malabar Pied
Hornbill let alone the flycatchers, orioles, babblers and the Shama.
Besides these, the Flying Lizard or the Draco is also frequently
seen in these forests. For those interested in lesser fauna, there
is plenty of interesting things around to see and learn.
