The tree with the Tree House is home to 15 to 20 Giant Squirrels perching on different branches and the Eco-Campus has more number of Giant Squirrels nesting on trees . They rarely leave the tree except for chasing its mating pair orelse mostly seen living on its own- secretive and shy.
Far from the maddening crowds of the city, the clean and unpolluted environment of the country village Kaliamba is sure to rejuvenate you. The well-ventilated Tree house is an ideal getaway amidst natures grandeur. Standing at a height of 30 ft in the lap of nature you can experience early morning mist and stars shining through the windows coupled with chilly breeze
