You can be assured for a real camping experience living in tents on a lovely beach front amidst lush green Himalayan forests. Our whitewater river rafting summer camp runs from mid April till late June each year in the western part of Uttarakhand, Jaunsar Bawar region on the banks of the Tons river.

Only 410 kms from Delhi, it offers an escape from 4 days to a week or two, combined with river rafting, hikes & overnight treks in the hills make it a memorable family getaway from the summer heat.

Located 3500 ft above sea level, this area is rich in every type of western Himalayan flora and fauna, densely forested with deodar, pine, alpine oak, birch, chestnut, rhododendron and jamun.

The Tons river (the biggest tributary of the Yamuna with its source in the snowfields of the 20,720 ft high mountain, Bandarpunch) is a small volume, Class 4 river which offers an excellent adrenaline rush and adds to the excitement of being in the outdoors.

When you wish to visit us, do take the trouble to find out where you are headed! Our Camps are set in the middle of Reserved Forest Areas, and it is a thorough privilege to be so close to nature. We are not a hotel, do not have electricity, heating or refrigeration, and we adhere strictly to eco-guidelines of no bright lights, no loud music, meal timings and no campfires during the fire season. Camp is run, not by hotel school graduates, but by the same guides that ensure a safe river or mountain trip for you. We do not have room service. We provide you with a clean tent with beds to sleep in, healthy meals each day and a fun day of activity. Bottomline, if you wish to visit us, come with the purpose of living by a beautiful river, surrounded by Reserved forests, for the call of the barking deer, or the midnight roar of the leopard ; not for creature comforts that we take for granted, coming from the city. It will help you enjoy your holiday better, and we appreciate guests who realise this opportunity to commune with nature.
