Activities in Gavi are not restricted to avian enthusiasts alone, instead the place appeals to a birder and a deep jungle trekker alike. For hard-core trekkers Gavi offers the best trekking trail - deep jungle trekking through Pullumedu Peak (the way to Shabarimala shrine) being the much-preferred. The placid waters of Gavi and Kochupamba lakes can engage you in boating and canoeing. For those who crave for an extra adrenaline pump, a night’s stay at the tree top huts, night safaris through jungle roads and night camping in intense forest are some of the recommended choices.
