Kolluru Bamboo Hut Resort
The Kolluru Bamboo Hut Resort is a premier eco-tourism destination nestled in the breathtaking Papikondalu hill range. This resort provides an authentic tribal living experience where guests stay in traditionally crafted bamboo huts right on the riverbed of the mighty Godavari. The resort is far re moved from the digital world, as there is no mobile signal or electricity, encouraging guests to reconnect with nature. Visitors reach this remote paradise via a scenic boat cruise starting from Pochavaram or Rajamahendravaram, passing through narrow gorges and lush green mountains. The nights here are magical, with campfires under a starlit sky and the gentle sound of the river flowing nearby. It is a managed community-based tourism initiative that provides livelihood to the local tribal population while offering tourists a raw and unfiltered wilderness experience. Staying here for a night allows travelers to witness the stunning sunrise over the hills, which is considered one of the most beautiful sights in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
