Gavi Green Mansions

Gavi is one of Kerala’s most celebrated eco-tourism destinations managed by the Kerala Forest Development Corporation (KFDC). Situated at 6000 feet altitude inside the Ranni Reserve Forest in Pathanamthitta district, Gavi offers a range of accommodation options from deluxe rooms in the Green Mansions eco-lodge with stunning lake views to Swiss tents and jungle camp sites accessible by jeep. The facility is completely off-grid — solar powered, no plastic policy, and deep inside the forest. Guided jeep safaris, nature walks, night treks, boat rides on Gavi Lake, and birdwatching are all part of the package. Wildlife including elephant, tiger, leopard, bison, and hundreds of bird species are regularly sighted. Advance booking is essential as Gavi is heavily in demand.
