For attention of Travellers to Hornbill Camp

The Hornbill Camp is constructed using local materials, local labour, managed by local community members & their livelihood comes directly from the proceeds of the camp. The food is sourced locally and the villagers including the local drivers of tuk-tuks and taxis get a chance to make a decent living from the camp. Hence seeing this camp as just another hotel is missing the point. The ambience & the experience, the dedicated service of the camp staff & the great ethnic food will more than make up for the loss of creature comforts of a hotel or a resort. If by any chance you are indeed looking for hotel with aircon, standard hotel amenities & services, Hornbill camp is probably not the right place. A modern resort with all modern amenities is available slightly up the road from the camp.

Hornbill Camp is an adventure activities-based camp. We arrange kayaking, cycling, walking and birding. It is important to note that the Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary has been closed for some time now. But that does not in any way take away the birding experience at Thattekkad since the birding is  done in areas that surround the sanctuary. There is no restriction whatsoever for birding at these places and all species which a birder looks for are easily seen in these areas. A vehicle is essential to go birding in the areas around the sanctuary and other areas at Thattekkad.

Please talk to the Manager or the Naturalists at the camp for details' of the activities in & around the camp.
