Camping Experience
Ecotourism in India is the usual package tours for group travelers and independent travelers with hotel accommodation being the core. The safaris are offered as package by the urban style hotels but lack the real input required to enjoy wildlife from close. What is required is a holistic experience that which is offered by camping safaris a concept new and unique in India.
We conduct camping safaris in style but in responsible manner. Our camping safaris stick to nature. The luxury camps located in finest habitat of Kanha National Park buffer are not permanent. They are set up for you and removed once the safari is over. This minimizes the impact on local surroundings. We use eco friendly solar lanterns and battery operated lanterns instead of electricity. Crystal clear water is fetched from the next door stream boiled and heated for use. All things in use are natural and recyclable.
We use natural resources in order to run the camps. The camps are fully serviced by local staffs who work as waiters, naturalists, cooks and field guides to assist in trekking. The camps offer full comfort in tandem with natural surroundings. It is a living experience of a life time in pristine wilderness as our ancestors did once.

With luck one can come across tigers, leopards and bisons that live in the neighborhood. At night sit under the stars and listen to the sounds of the jungle. The camp fire keeps you warm as you savor the surroundings – calm – serene – rejuvenating.
The excursions in the park are carried out in well equipped jeeps that which drove you to the camping site. Wildlife safaris in Kanha offer the best chance to see the tiger in India.
