Tour Highlights
|
|
One summer Camp runs May-June each year in the western part of Uttarancahal, in the Jaunsar Bawar region, rich in every type of western Himalayan flora and fauna, densely forested with deodar, pine, alpine oak, birch, chestnut, rhododendron and jamun.
Operational from 7 May to 10 July each year and only 435 kms from Delhi. Rafting on the Tons, a small volume, Class 4 river offers an excellent adrenaline rush. Staying at Camp, in the midst of thickly forested hillsides and riverside beach combined with hikes and overnight treks in the hills around our Camp and fishing for trout, make it a memorable family getaway from the summer heat.
