Camping: The art of getting closer to nature while getting farther away from the nearest cold beverage, hot shower and flush toilet.
Rishikesh used to be the travel destination for the people who have achieved everything in life and came to the conclusion that nothing is more fullfilling than sprituality. It used to be travel destination for middle aged and retire people for the search of moksha. In this ever-changing world , now young people have started visiting this palce for adventure sports and unwinding their stress in the company of nature.
After the popularity of river-rafting , kayaking, yoga & mediation people like the idea of unwinding in the lap of nature away from the humbug of busy city life and that's what the camping provides.
There are many type of camping option avaiable in Rishikesh
These camp provide all most all mordern aminities except the electricity as they are situated in remote no-man's land locations. Now many luxury camp provide that too with their small gen-sets. There are many options available for the taking you can check at the service provider's site about their pakages and rates.
One thing which I like about camping is that it provide opportunity to meet the people with diverse interest, hobby, culture and languages. In camping as no one is in hurry you can commuincate with people from different walks of life in peaceful environment.
Accomodation
Two types of accomodation is available as far as building material is concerned.
Tents : Generally made out of synthatic material which provides better water-profing. These tents are well ventilated with rollup windows and vents and can be carried easily from place to place.
Huts : Huts are made out of natural material like bamboo, hay and clay. They provide better temperature conditioning as compare to the synthatic one. They give us the sense of close to nature as they are made out of the natural material used in villages to make huts. Given an option Huts are very much preffered option for camping accomodation
Generally camping facility provides the following aminities :
Food : Most of the camping facilities provide nice , exotic food from Indian and Muglai Cuisine, with starters and snacks. Incase you are in a group and wants cook for yourself , you can contact service provider for the same in advance so that adequate arrangements can be made.
Lighting : Most of the camp doesn't have provision for electricity as they are located in unhabitated area's. Provision for the lights in the night is made through Laterns (Oil Lamps). Oil lamps also add to the naturalness of the ambience. Though luxury camp's have electricity provisions through their own gen-sets.
Adventure : Incase you are fit and adveturous in your outlook you can choice an option for adventure sports such as rafting, kayaking, bungy jumping, clif diving and rock climbing. For this inform your service provider in advance or choose a appropriate option while booking.
