Experience Mother Nature's charm with a visit to the Kuruvadweep Islands, a unique river delta formed by the Kabini River. The two-hour soft trek on the island will take you through dense forests, sparkling streams, and bamboo groves. You can also take a dip in the river's cool waters. It's an experience of a lifetime.
