Fed up of the maddening city traffic and the incessant honking? Weary of the rising pollution levels and the stressed lives? Well, we have the perfect solution for that! Tucked away deep in the hills and valleys of the Sahyadri and adorned by the calm backwaters lies a campsite - earthy, raw and 100% wild!

This back-to-nature campsite is just how camping was meant to be! Our camp starts with a wonderful birding trail through the dense woods around our camping ground and then we say goodbye to the setting sun with a game of football on our very own `green outfield`.

The young night would take you back to the simple yet immensely powerful scenes from `Into the Wild`, where we dedicate our time to roast some mouth - watering barbeque as the moonlit waters gently lap at our feet. This is just how life was meant to be lived - simple yet meaningful.

Just as we pleasure ourselves with the heavenly aromas and tastes from the grill, our local friends will serve us a sumptuous village meal complete with `pithla-bhakri-thecha`!

With a surreal night walk and some astronomy along the sparkling backwaters, we conclude the day with a crackling campfire reminding us of the days long gone by. Nostalgic and content, we sleep under the stars as a thorough silence spreads across the valley.

We wake up at the crack of dawn as our brighest friend lights up the top of the hills. After a moderate trek and a heavy breakfast, we drive back - with memories to cherish till the next time we camp together!

Bhigwan is a haven for the flaming birds of beauty, our pretty guests from up north. An astounding place to not only see the flamingos, but also to photograph them. We go in search of these incredi..

Bhigwan is a haven for the flaming birds of beauty, our pretty guests from up north. An astounding place to not only see the flamingos, but also to photograph them. We go in search of these incredibly beautiful birds in the golden light of sunset as well as sunrise, in boats rowed by master boatmen, people who know the lake like the back of their hands! And then, there are a host of other avian beauties who inhabit the placid waters of the Bhigwan lake. Herons, gulls, egrets, terns and a number of raptors like the Osprey, Marsh Harrier and Greater Spotted Eagle call Bhigwan their home. And if you’re lucky, you can even catch a glimpse of these magnificent raptors in action!

We pitch our tents by the lakeside, with the starlit sky and a campfire keeping us company. Out by the water, discussions and stories will continue late into the night, till the fire dies out...
