On the Trail of Adventure
Reclining on the banks of the river Kundalika, River Trail
is a unique retreat in every sense.
When you reach the foot of the retreat, right away, you’re
swept off in a boat with your luggage, companions et all.
Just when you begin to settle down and enjoy the scenery of
green hills and a gentle river – lo! you’ve reached River
Trail!
Upfront, you’re greeted by a row of mangroves, a quiet farm
replete with mango, coconut, jackfruit trees and a wind blowing
wildly in your face. The inviting hammocks instantly catch
your eye, while the cosy 2- tier dining machan, the sporty
tents, the naturally-blending country villa, all make you
relax and unwind there and then.
This is a place for Water Lovers and Adventure
Seekers. Swimming in the river is encouraged, since it is
a fairly safe place with depths ranging 2 feet to 8 feet.
The trail across the river is breathtakingly beautiful, especially
in the early mornings and during dusk when a variety of birds
flock to river. You could even bicycle your way as you discover
the river’s trail along with the shy, local tribals who are
usually found fishing in the river.
This retreat is a unique partnership by
Ecomantra to encourage local owners to be partners in Ecotourism.
This is an endeavour to help villagers preserve their culture
and the natural environment, while putting their knowledge
to excellent use and earning a good livelihood out of it.
