Forest Trekking - Trekking through the tropical forest right across the river is another interesting activity. You will be listening to a lot of birds, such as mynahs, tronquos, thrushes, seven sisters, and occasionally to a hornbill. An area in the forest with thousands and thousands of huge fruit bats hanging upside down from the branches of tall trees reminds one, of the Jurassic Park. When disturbed they screech and fly in thousands filling the air with their wing flaps.
Rafting - Punting on a bamboo raft in the river at Dewalokam is very pleasing to the eyes and ears. While you are moving on a raft very slowly in the river you will be enveloped on all sides by rich lushly growing greenery. There will be a lot of birds like cormorants and kingfishers on the trees, creepers and climbers that overhang into the river from all sides.
Gardening - One could also participate in the gardening and farming work at Dewalokam. The various animals and birds and fish at Dewalokam help the guest unwind himself as he moves along the labyrinth of trekking path in the farm. One may even partake in the activities at the farm, planting or maintaining the numerous flowering plants at Dewalokam.
Waterfalls - The famous Thommankuthu waterfall is only ten kilometers from Dewalokam. One has to trek one kilometer in the forest to reach the waterfalls, after reaching Thommankuthu by car. Huge trees which are hundreds of years old can be seen on both sides of the trekking path. Several small waterfalls also can be seen in addition to the impeccable seven step cascade.
Honey bees - There are several beehives in the farm at Dewalokam. With the help of the staff one may watch how the bees are raised or how honey is collected. One may also see how the rubber trees are tapped or how the rubber sheet is produced.
