Camping is just not about ‘into the wild’ anymore. If combined with luxury & glamour, the whole idea of camping in the wild locations become extremely comfortable, self indulgent and lush. What is on offer is novelty; you ditch brick and mortar; you have free-standing bath tubs, fire places, wooden floors under the stars. All in all, you are camping in an ultra-luxurious tent, carrying the same nostalgia of camping in the most unusual and breathtakingly beautiful serene locations.
The allure of this luxury attracts people of all generations that is why multi generational; It has brought a new wave; a wave that takes them away from the grind of reality, without the worry of the camping hazards like sleeping in cold, firewood chores and waking up in the rain.
If you are travelling in India, the choice of locations from its Kashmir to Kanyakumari; Bengal to Gujarat, make it look even more exotic.

Cultural Odyssey
“There is no need for complicated philosophy but just living in the moment to celebrate life, seasons, and traditions.”
1. Kutch Utsav
Stay in the largest salt marsh in the world – The Great Rann of Kutch, the shape of which resembles a tortoise. You are in for the most beautiful and surreal landscape in the vast expanse of the nothingness of the white salt desert. Known worldwide for its most vibrant and festival Rann Utsav, December till February mark the months of celebration of the traditions, culture, art heritage that its people have carried.
2. Pushkar Fair
The idea of staying around the world’s largest cattle fair in Pushkar, Rajasthan is itself so enthralling the real experience is otherworldly. Against the backdrop of Pushkar Lake, the only Brahma (the Creator) temple in the world and full moon nights, you are amidst the melting pot of Rajsthani art & culture. One hand, you are surrounded with the decorated camels, and the constant chaos of beauty contents; on the other musicians, traders, artisans, magicians, dancers, performers, snake charmers, cattle traders, pilgrims who unite for a holy bath keep the humdrum of the place.
Wholesome Reflections
“Take your spiritual inner beauty one step further with India’s most unique spiritual and wellness experiences.”
3. Buddhism & Monasteries
“Chasing angels or fleeing demons, go to the mountains.”
You are travelling to the extreme north Indian mainland that is tough, barren and unforgiving. We are talking about the home of the Giant Himalayas, Leh Ladakh. Camp against the backdrop of snow clad mountains, ancient Gompas, surreal landscape, mantras wrapped in juniper incense that surround the air, kindling an ethereal state.
Chasing the Maharajas
“Revive the stories of the Maharajas of India that have been captured for eternity in the massive forts and palaces built throughout the country.”
4. Stay with the leopards
You enter Jawai, in the heart of Rajasthan’s wilderness located between Jodhpur and Udaipur, in to a landscape that hosts a diverse ecosystem, at the top of which sits the leopard. You explore an amazing harmony between craggy hills, scrub, grasslands and winding sand riverbeds, leopards and the Rabari herdsmen, which is very unique to this part of the world.
5. OSIAN – Khajuraho of Rajasthan
A delight for heritage and history nerds, there is something oddly satisfying about camping around the shrines of OSIAN. You have some of the most exotic architecture and design that resonate the influential kingdoms that reside here in the middle of the Thar Desert.
Come along! Be a part of India through your travels, beyond time.
The interaction with Nature is the founding discourse of any traveller. Recently moving to the mountain village brought me nearer to ground, a look closer at the dance of eternity. I realised there are varied worlds steeped in beauty, innocence and imagination, not bound by false arcades of norms and pretence. Travel stories fascinate me. For me, it’s been about renegotiating newer territories; forever relocating; listening & writing stories.
