Get to know about Vanavihari
Welcome to Vanavihari, where Community Based Eco-Tourism (CBET) thrives under the ownership of the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department. Our retreats are lovingly managed by local tribal communities, offering them not just employment but also a deep sense of belonging and pride. A portion of the proceeds from our resorts goes directly to the tribal members, ensuring sustainable livelihoods and security. With the Konda Reddy and Valmiki tribes at the heart of our endeavors, Vanavihari boasts two remarkable retreats: one nestled in Maredumilli and the other, Jungle Star Eco Camp, situated in Valammuru. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the diligent efforts of our DFO and Range Officers, who tirelessly safeguard both the forest and the well-being of our community. Welcome to a journey of nature, culture, and responsible tourism at Vanavihari.
