11 villages came together to conserve and revive 9,000+ acres of grasslands and forest. Not only did the grass and flora return, so did water, and the birds and animals, and the ability of the the place to host 90,000 sheep annually for controlled, managed grazing!
This is a story that gives hope and joy, and a landscape that is once again beautiful and bountiful.
The Kalpavalli Tree Growers’ Cooperative which manages the KCCA has partnered with Linger for to welcome responsible travellers at this wonderful place. We look forward to hosting you here and sharing the stories that make this a place worth visiting and learning from.
At the Location
At Bush Camp, Kalpavalli, there’s plenty of opportunities to spend time with nature – observing, hiking and soaking it in!
The Watchtower Hike takes you through restored grasslands upto an old watchtower. 9kms in all through a rejuvenated landscape. Moderate.
The Hill Top Birding Walk, 3kms and slow and easy, observing the birds and learning, learning, learning…
The Ghati Madugu Trek. Start at Guttur madugu and walk across the stream. 10kms – moderate.
Great birding’s guaranteed. And very very likely that you’ll see blackbucks. Leopards? Hmmmm, who knows…
