Welcome to The  Hornbill Camp! Prepare for the Ultimate Eco-Adventure and enjoy your stay as naturally as it gets! Let your stay  at this camp be one with nature as you discover the joys of birding in a lowland tropical forest. With over 275 species in such a small area, most of them endemics, Thattekkad offers a rare view into the world of birding in Kerala. The Hornbill Camp has been specifically planned to make you get the most out of your short stay here.  This is the ideal place to sight the maximum number of birds in such a small  geographic area. The camp is so located, to perfectly blend in the jungle, so you can enjoy your own private jungle and the spectacular view of the river Periyar. Along its banks, birds  flock in their thousands and the cool ambience is the ultimate prize for the birder. This is the ideal place to be one with nature and observe nature in all its pristine glory as well as the birds in their magnificence. We recommend that you plan your trips during the months of October to May.
