Gavi is a small settlement surrounded by forest, grassland and reservoirs in Pathanamthitta district. Tourism here is limited and managed, which keeps visitor numbers low. The drive in passes through forest where wildlife sightings are possible.
Best known for
- Forest drives
- Reservoirs and grasslands
- Managed eco-tourism activities
Beyond the usual
- Treat it as a full day from Thekkady or Kumily rather than a quick stop
Why it's worth the detour: Controlled access keeps visitor numbers low, so the forest drive feels remote.
