Baralikaadu Eco Tourism, nestled near Sirumugai in the foothills of the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu, India, offers a tranquil one-day getaway focused on nature and community-based eco-tourism. This initiative, operated by the Coimbatore Forest Division, provides visitors with an authentic experience of the region's natural beauty and tribal heritage.
Situated near the Pillur Reservoir, on the banks of the Bhavani River (also referred to as Athikadavu River), it is surrounded by dense forests, offering a refreshing escape from city life. Key activities include traditional coracle rides on the Pillur Dam backwaters, guided forest walks, and a rejuvenating bath in the river.
A highlight of the visit is the delicious organic lunch prepared by local tribal women. The center emphasizes eco-friendly practices, prohibiting plastics, cigarettes, and alcohol. Bookings are required in advance through the official website.
