Butterfly Walk

80+ Native Species
Wander through a flutter-filled trail where butterflies dance between nectar spots and secret host plants. Kids chase them. Photographers follow. Wonder finds everyone.

Birding Walk

Spot sunbirds, drongos &
kingfishers
Join our guided Bird Walk, a treasure hunt for birdwatchers. Our garden is a natural habitat for a wide variety of birds, drawn by the diverse trees, fruits, and insect life. It’s a peaceful and engaging way to connect with nature and spot local species.

Leaf – Texture Hunt

Guided with an Activity Sheet
Step into a world of texture and scent on our guided Leaf and Texture Walk. This is a sensory experience that invites you to engage with nature through kinesthetic learning. Feel the smooth, waxy surface of a rubber leaf, the delicate veins of a fern, and the rough bark of a teak tree. It’s a hands-on journey where you can truly smell, touch, and observe the living world around you.

Capture the Unseen Kerala’s Macro Photography Paradise

Moths that vanish into bark. Blooms that bloom once and never again. Some fungi glow. Some petals hide till rain calls them out. Over 1,700 species, many rare or unrecorded — waiting in stillness. Here, a droplet could outshine the canopy. Macro-photography lovers, time to slow down. Because every frame might hold a world that hasn’t been seen before.
