Thekkady Adventure Hub is a premier local eco-tourism and adventure travel operator. Established in 2017

Located in Kumily, Kerala, right on the doorstep of the iconic Periyar Tiger Reserve, Thekkady Adventure Hub is a premier local eco-tourism and adventure travel operator. Established in 2017, the agency was founded with a single mission: to show travelers the true, unscripted wilderness of the Western Ghats. While standard tourists often stick to routine lake boat cruises, Thekkady Adventure Hub takes visitors deep into off-road mountain trails, dense tropical rainforests, and hidden valleys using heavy-duty 4x4 open-top jeeps and guided eco-tours.

Situated conveniently on the Kottayam–Kumily Road (near Bharath Petroleum, Chelimada, Kumily, Kerala 685509), the company acts as a primary hub for adventure seekers, families, wildlife enthusiasts, and photographers visiting the Idukki district.

🌲 Signature Safari Packages & Outdoor Expeditions

Thekkady Adventure Hub designs itineraries that highlight the diverse terrain of the Periyar wilderness, ranging from short 3-hour off-road adrenaline runs to full-day deep forest circuits.

1. Sathram Off-Road Border Safari (3 to 4 Hours)

The Sathram trail is the agency’s most popular half-day excursion, tailored for those who want an authentic off-road driving thrill paired with sweeping landscape views.

• The Route: The safari covers an intense 8 km stretch of unpaved, rugged mountain tracks along the forest border near the Kerala–Tamil Nadu line.

• Key Attractions: Passengers travel through aromatic pine forests, rolling tea plantations, and dense lemongrass hills. The journey culminates at high-altitude viewpoints offering 360-degree views of the Western Ghats mountain range.

• Wildlife Opportunities: It is common to spot wild elephants, gaur (Indian bison), sambar deer, and rare high-altitude birds along the forest margins, especially during early morning and late afternoon slots.

2. Gavi Deep Jungle Expedition (Full Day)

Gavi is world-renowned for its pristine, undisturbed rainforest ecosystem. Because it is a strictly regulated forest zone, access is limited, making this full-day tour one of the most sought-after experiences in Kerala.

• The Route: Departing early in the morning, the safari travels deep into the protected reserve forest corridors where commercial vehicles are prohibited.

• Activities Included: The full-day package is a complete eco-experience. It includes official Forest Department entry passes, guided jungle trekking with local tribal naturalists, bamboo rafting or lake boating at the serene Gavi reservoir, and visits to cardamom plantations and forest settlements.

• Atmosphere: Deep shade, misty roads, cascading waterfalls, and silent canopy trails make this a peaceful retreat into nature.

3. Angamoozhy Full-Day Trail (The 5-Dam Circuit)

For travelers who want a long-distance road trip experience into forgotten valleys, the Angamoozhy trail offers an immersive journey.

• The Route: Starting at 5:30 AM to maximize daylight, this package covers a massive 190 km circuit navigating deep reserve forests, mountain passes, and remote river valleys.

• Key Attractions: The highlight of the route is visiting five major hydroelectric dams nestled deep in the forest hills, including Moozhiyar and Kakki dams. The landscape alternates between thick tropical jungle, sweeping reservoir catchments, and rugged mountain inclines.

4. Custom & Cultural Activity Add-Ons

To offer a complete holiday package, Thekkady Adventure Hub integrates cultural and recreational experiences around Kumily into custom itineraries:

• Spice Plantation Tours: Guided walks through organic pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla gardens.

• Elephant Experiences: Ethical interaction, feeding, and photo sessions at certified local elephant parks.

• Bamboo Rafting & Night Treks: Specialized wilderness activities coordinated with local forest authorities.

• Cultural Shows: Booking support for Kathakali (classical dance) and Kalaripayattu (traditional martial arts) performances.
