Activities you can experience;

Kayaking; The Hornbill Camp is located on the banks of the river Periyar. On the opposite bank of the river are some of the finest lowland forests of Kerala. A kayaking trip amidst these great swathes of forests is an ideal sport for those inclined to be adventurous and explore the bio-diversity within these forests. You can also kayak to some of the villages upstream to get a first-hand glimpse of life in a typical spice growing and agrarian village of Kerala. (duration 1 hr.)

Cycling; The location of Hornbill Camp is ideally suited for cycling journeys to the countryside - spice growing villages, farms, forests at Thattekkad and the ever-inviting local population. You can go on a full day expedition or wander around at leisure through the friendly countryside! A visit to the hanging bridge near the camp would be a wonderful experience for the travelers.
