Come Back to Your Roots

vanyaThe Vanya experience gives you an opportunity to feel what it’s like to be back in the cradle of Mother Nature. Every single aspect of Vanya will remind you of an era gone by. A time when people and things were much simple, where man’s greed did not dilute his purpose in life.
Your journey begins with a jeep ride from Greenwoods Resort to a ‘MannanKudi’, a traditional mud hut made by the indigenous Mannan tribes of this region.. Everything about this hut will show you how these tribes lived in such harmony with nature. This hut truly signifies what living off of the land means. The very principle that the MannanKudi represents is that the earth has plenty to offer to satisfy man’s needs but not his greed.
From this point on you will begin your one km long trek to the tree house of Vanya.Before you begin your trek to the tree house, you will be handed a basic survival kit. This consists of a pair of leach socks, a compass, a rope and a pair of binoculars.
