Make your escape from smoggy cities and sweltering heat, into the fresh cold air of the mountains. This campsite is located close to Mussoorie, on the hills of Kanatal, with gorgeous views in all directions. Early mornings here are misty and filled with the fragrance of pine trees, and you can go exploring green forests in all directions. But this wouldn't be an adventure trip without some wild adventure, so here are some more options. This package includes rock climbing, valley crossing, rappelling, and rope activities like parallel rope and Burma Bridge.
Destination
This hillside campsite in Kanatal is at an altitude of about 8400 feet, so you can expect pleasant weather, going down to 4-5 degrees in winter. Around the campsite, there are forests of pine, deodar and oak, offering you plenty of quiet trails and pretty views. From the campsite, you'll be able to see snow-capped Himalayan peaks and the lush wooded slopes of Kanatal. Your campsite has all the following facilities: comfortable Swiss tents with bedding, neat western/Indian toilets with flush and running water, buffet meals, and electricity with power backup. In the evenings, you'll gather around a bonfire and enjoy the cool mountain breeze.
