Enriching & Exciting - Guided by Mr. Aditya, we cherished the Ancient Lava Stream Trek, a novel experience for occasional trekkers like us. Aditya's expertise and passion for local flora and fauna made it truly memorable. Highly recommend adding this trek to Havelock itinerary for an adventurous and educational nature exploration. Our family thoroughly enjoyed and learned from this enriching experience.

Surreal experience!! - Absolutely loved this trek guided by Anurag and Aditya. Expertly explained. This was a new experience for me as I do not trek on a regular basis but this was one thing I would have regretted if not experienced. I would recommend everyone visiting Havelock to definitely add this trek to their itinerary..

Unforgettable experience - I did the ancient lava stream trek with my wife. It was an absolute blast. Especially the the competent guidance and detailed information from Aditya made the whole experience unforgettable.
After the positive experience with the lava stream trek we also did snorkeling with the habitat institute activity center.
For that also Aditya was our guide and it was amazing.
He really took the time to teach us the snorkeling and gave us the time and freedom to practice on our own. He also took pictures and videos.
All in all I can recommend this to anyone.

Must do trek in Havlock. - The trek was great and adventurous. The dip in the water near the peak was even better. Going through dense forest and seeing the adaptations of the flora was beautiful.

Ancient lava stream trek - Our recent trek through the forest was an absolute delight!
We were able to see a fascinating array of plant life, insects and reptiles.
The highlight of the trek was definitely the natural pool of water formed in the volcanic rock formations, which was truly amazing!
Highly recommend the trek to anyone who likes a little adventure and exploring nature.
