A three-day journey through forests, rivers, waterfalls and tribal hamlets — some of the most remote landscapes of the Eastern Ghats. Follow the river, sleep beneath the stars, and discover a slower rhythm of life.
The Sharada River Trail is our deepest Eastern Ghats journey: 22–27 km over three days, walked beside and often through the river. It begins at the Devarapalli bridge near Brahmavada, passes tribal villages where lunch is eaten from your own tiffin box, and camps twice — first by a natural pool next to a hamlet, then at Pravang, a tribal homestay and camping site. The last morning is the reward: waterfalls, untouched natural pools and rock slides before the drive home. This is a curated, private-group experience — bring your own circle of 8 or more and we build it around you.

Questions, answered
Why private groups only?
The trail passes small hamlets and fragile places — small, known groups keep it respectful and unhurried. Gather 8+ people and the dates are yours.
Will my feet get wet?
Yes — it's a river trail, with crossings every day. Quick-dry everything, and shoes you trust on wet rock.
Is there network?
Limited to none for most of the three days. Tell people you'll be away — properly away.
Where do we sleep?
Night one in tents by a natural pool near a hamlet; night two at Pravang, a tribal homestay and camp site with washrooms.
When does it not run?
During heavy rains — peak monsoon makes the crossings unsafe. September to April is the window.
What people say
“We explored a hidden waterfall deep in the Eastern Ghats — peaceful, untouched, absolutely worth the trek. No rush, no commercial vibe, just genuine people helping you connect deeply with nature.”
“A perfect place to relax and forget everything for a while. The trek was short and easy, and the sound of the waterfall was beautiful.”
“A mesmerising waterfall trek — magical. Ravi, Naveen and Manohar take care of people and make every trek safe and memorable. This was my 3rd time with Ecohikes and many more to come.”
