Location:
Fifty kilometers from Nainital, perched on Mukteshwar ridge, surrounded by apple and peach orchards
is a camp inspired by a colour that blends perfectly with nature.
Watching the sunset (or rise) over Himalayan peaks, the distant graded mountains and the morning mist
will all help explain why we couldn’t have given it any other name.
Mukteshwar (7290 Ft) is one of the highest ridges in the middle Himalayas, hence it serves as a great vantage point for panoramic views of the snow covered mountains (including Nanda Devi – one of the highest Indian peaks) Mukteshwar literally means “Abode of Shiva” and has a Shiva temple at the highest hill on the ridge.
Possible activities at the Camp:
- Treks to meadows, jungles, the
temple/ashram and hidden villages. - Rock-Climbing and Rappelling from cliffs.
- Basket Ball
- Picnic lunch and games at the meadows
overlooking the Himalayas. - Bird watching.
- Archery
- Campfire and star gazing
- Flower/fruit Juice making
