Forest stay · Konni
Adavi Tree Top Bamboo HutsAdavi’s bamboo-hut stay is an ecotourism programme. Confirm availability, access, facilities and included activities before booking an overnight.
Resort · Konni
Contour Jungle ResortA Konni directory entry for Contour Jungle Resort. Current operation, rooms and the entrance need confirmation before making a journey or payment.
Book with the place itself. India’s cyber-crime coordination centre warned in April 2025 that convincing copies of hotel and pilgrimage booking sites are being pushed through sponsored search and social ads, taking payment for rooms the property never hears about. Use the contact and source details on each profile to confirm the exact business and booking channel. A directory entry or map pin alone does not establish an operator’s identity or current availability. Roampedia takes no commission and does not collect booking payments. If a booking page reached you through an ad, check the address bar against the property’s own site before you pay. Fraud can be reported on cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930.
