Camping

Camping :

Nestled in the heart of Uttranchal, our scenic destination has ideal camp sites. Experience the thrill of being in the lap of Mother Nature.

Our scope includes:
Raw thrill of battling whitewater rapids in India on Ganges. The Camp is a very scenic beach camp by the Ganga river, located upstream from Rishikesh and before Kaudiyala, in the Himalayan foothills.

It stretches onto 800 meters of silver sand beach, surrounded by thick forests and mountains, bright sunshine and constantly flowing emerald green river Ganges. Night on the beach has its own mystic charm - starlit sky, silhouette of the mountains, the moon shimmering on the river, the rippling sound of water and the camp fire romance.

This is a great way to explore the outdoors.

Accommodation is in twin bedded luxury tents with a living area of the size of 12 x 12 ft having twin beds.
Bath area has running water; wash basin, mirror.
Toilets in western style, the typical dry pit one is separately made.
