History of Kevdi. The village name is Jetpur Kevdi, but generally khown as Jetpur kevdi. Because there are other two villages with same name. urrounded with beautiful hills and forest. 

Its more attractive in the season of monsoon and winter, summer seems little tired some reaching to Camp site but anyway if you really wise to visit this place you can visit any season. 

It is my advise to carry your food and basic requirement with you
