Glamping—or glamorous camping—has taken the travel world by storm, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Western Ghats of Kerala. If you are planning a trip to Wayanad, you no longer have to choose between a sterile hotel room or roughing it in a leaky tent. AVASA Nature offers three distinct, premium glamping styles that let you sleep close to nature without giving up comfort: Tree Tents, Geodesic Domes, and Canvas Tipis.
To help you choose the perfect stay for your wilderness retreat, we have put together this comparison guide comparing design, comfort, privacy, and budget.
1. The Suspended Tree Tent Stays (Stingray Tribe)
If you want to live out your childhood dream of sleeping in a treetop cabin, our suspended tree tent stays are designed for you. Suspended 4 to 8 feet above the forest floor between three massive trunks, these tensile structures float gracefully in the Wayanad canopy.
- The Vibe: Pure adventure, weightless floating, and low-impact connection.
- Inside the Tent: The floor is a tensioned triple-webbing trampoline sheet. It is surprisingly supportive and eliminates the hard, bumpy ground. We supply comfortable sleeping pads, insulated sleeping bags, pillows, and rechargeable ambient lanterns.
- Weatherproofing: Equipped with an ultra-fine insect mesh for starry, dry nights and a heavy-duty waterproof rainfly shell for Kerala's sudden rain showers.
- Ideal For: Adventurous couples, backpackers, and small groups of friends (up to 3 adults).
- Starting Price: ₹2,500 per night. Learn more on our Tree Tents Page.
2. The Geodesic Dome Stays (Glamping Domes)
For those who want a premium, five-star experience in the middle of the jungle, our geodesic glamping domes offer the ultimate luxury. Set on elevated private wooden decks, these geometric structures combine modern architecture with untouched nature.
- The Vibe: Eco-luxury, panoramic views, and private forest comfort.
- Inside the Dome: Features a king-size bed, luxury organic linens, designer furniture, private en-suite bathroom with eco hot showers, and a massive transparent front window with blackout curtains.
- Weatherproofing: Built with multi-layered insulation panels, solar-powered exhaust vents, and silent climate control systems (AC) to keep you comfortable through hot afternoons and chilly monsoons.
- Ideal For: Honeymooners, couples seeking privacy, and luxury travelers.
- Starting Price: ₹5,500 per night. Learn more on our Geodesic Domes Page.
3. The Canvas Tipi Tribe Stays (Tipi Tribe)
If you love campfire circles, acoustic music, and a communal spirit, the Canvas Tipi Tribe stays offer a fantastic group experience. Built in a circle around a central campfire hearth, our cotton-canvas tipis capture the essence of traditional nomadic camps.
- The Vibe: Community, fireside stories, rustic charm, and family bonding.
- Inside the Tipi: Spacious circular layout with excellent headroom, laid out with thick hand-woven rugs, low bolsters, comfortable floor bedding, and warm fairy lights.
- Weatherproofing: Steep-sloped walls that easily shed rain, and breathable cotton canvas that prevents the hot, humid green-house effect of synthetic tents.
- Ideal For: Families, active groups, and team-building retreats (up to 4 adults per tipi).
- Starting Price: ₹3,500 per night. Learn more on our Canvas Tipis Page.
