The
two islets of elevated ground studded with bamboo thickets
in Thekkady is the eco lodge for experiential learning. Here
a miniature habitat is being recreated for man and nature
to co-exist in the already available milieu of grassy downs,
sedges and bamboos and stream fringed with screw pine. Dwelling
units made exclusively of natural materials like bamboo and
grass and tents are slotted in the available spaces together
with treetop huts to give the place an eco-friendly ambience.
Experiential learning and nature sensitization camps are conducted
for discerning aspirants and the programme addresses different
target groups. Lectures, discussions, audiovisual presentations,
field visits etc. go with the programme.
