Story of Bamboo Forest
In the heart of the bamboo forest lies the beautiful home of our new 'residents'. Here, we have gentle friends who love rolling through the green grass, drinking from fresh streams, and bathing in sunlight. Visit our friendly animals and get snippets of their daily lives!

Avana Retreat’s Bamboo Forest is home to many native animals. Each animal has distinctive features, traits, and needs, yet all live in harmony in the natural sanctuary. By day, we let them out in the open air and let them interact with each other. Seeing chickens, goats, piggies, and peacocks roaming freely and peacefully, it feels like a diverse neighborhood! From being timid and untamed, these animals are more sociable with human interaction. They are more familiar with the mountain climate and more open to living with each other.
We have a phenomenal animal ‘whisperer’ Hạnh - who always shows up at the earliest, and leaves at the latest! He has his ways of connecting with them: he feeds them, communicates with them, learns their names, and shows them how to be around humans. Whenever it’s lunchtime, you can see a line of followers sticking to his back like a tail! With many mouths to feed, he is consistently occupied. However, you can tell that he loves his job by looking at how he treats wildlings!
Bamboo Forest is one of our most promising projects to contribute to the vision of sustainability. Making use of the abundant land, we wish to encourage biodiversity, a healthy ecosystem, and positive conservation practices! By having hands-on experience with animals, we can help our guests learn about animal welfare, and be more aware of the environment and wildlife around us!
The Bamboo Forest is open from 9:00 - 11:00 and 14:30 - 16:30 daily.
