    Exotic location, just beneath a river stream, accessible only through a forest trail. Just one cottage, three attendants, and no one else.

    Absolutely loved our stay at this camping site! I went with a group of friends, and we had an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were overwhelmed by the hospitality and the warmth of the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel incredibly welcome. The tents were well-maintained, spacious, and set up in a beautiful, serene area, providing just the right balance of comfort and nature. We could truly relax and enjoy the outdoors while still having the essentials taken care of. The highlight of our trip was the bonfire setup, where we gathered that night under the stars. It was such a perfect spot to share stories, enjoy music, and just soak in the peaceful vibe of the place. Overall, the combination of great service, scenic surroundings, and fun activities made our camping trip truly special. If you’re looking for a camping experience that combines nature with top-notch service, I would highly recommend this place! We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Roshanji and team for hosting us

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Riverside Cottage Stay – A True Adventure! We had an incredible stay at this beautiful riverside cottage! The absence of electricity adds to its vintage charm, making it a truly unique and adventurous experience. If you love nature and want to disconnect from the modern world, this is the perfect place. The hospitality was amazing, with warm and friendly behavior from everyone. Special thanks to Roshanji, the wonderful owner, for making our stay so memorable. Also, a big shoutout to Provat for his exceptional service! Our only request would be to have a dedicated toilet for ladies, but apart from that, everything was absolutely superb. We highly recommend keeping the place as it is—no electricity needed! A must-visit for adventure lovers! 🌿🏕️

    Roshan Ji suggested a place - CHACHAL for a hiking experience and told us that we’ll be having lunch together beside the river. It was new to us, we never had such experience before and we took the opportunity. Next day we started for CHACHAL with a guide who is around 13 - 14 years, always smiling. The whole route is within the jungle, and the river is gushing tirelessly on the left. There are many unknown beautiful flowers, Elaichi trees, different types of Ferns, birds and butterflies that made our journey memorable. When we reached the spot, there was a silver lining coming out of lashing green which drew our attention immediately. It’s the source of that river - the beautiful waterfall. The gushing water sound which was rolling over stones, the waterfall, birds chirping on the branches, taking foot-spa sitting over the stone and dipping our legs in river water - as a whole, it’s enchanting. The ambience is so rejuvenating that I cannot explain in words. Roshan ji and Team served our lunch just beside the river. First time in our life we had our lunch amidst nature, and believe me - I am not exaggerating, we’ll never forget this in our lifetime. First time we had a beautiful salad prepared with WaterCress and later came to know its health benefits. Trout fishes are found in the river, but we had no luck this time. But, it’s a tremendous experience which we can cherish lifelong.
