Overview
🌿 GAVI FOREST CAMP – A TRUE DIGITAL DETOX ESCAPE 🌿
No notifications.
No calls.
No endless scrolling.
Just forests, silence, and peace.
Deep inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve, Gavi is a place where network is limited — and that’s exactly what makes it special. This is not a problem, this is the experience.
For this trip, we encourage you to keep your mobile phones away or switch them to Airplane Mode 📵
Just for one night & two days, let go of screens and allow nature and the new friends around you to take over.
Wake up to birds instead of alarms.
Walk ancient forest trails without checking time.
Row across misty lakes where silence speaks louder than words.
Sit by a campfire, talk, laugh, or simply stay quiet.
You’ll return feeling:
✨ Relaxed
✨ Calm
✨ Mentally refreshed & rejuvenated
And don’t worry — our coordinators will be with you throughout, guiding, supporting, and taking care of everything 🤍
Disconnect from the digital world…
Reconnect with yourself. 🌿
