Camping in India – Frequently Asked Questions

Camping is so much more than merely sleeping in tents. Its a way for you to rekindle your connection to the outdoors, a chance to get your kids to experience the magic or nature or perhaps to start your journey of preserving it.

We often get asked – Where can I camp? Do I have to answer natures call in the wild? Is it safe for women? How do I get there?

If you have allowed any of these questions to stop you from enjoying the outdoors, this article is made for you. We answer some of the most common questions and bust some myths about camping.

Question: Do I have to camp in a group or can I camp alone?

Ans: Both are fun and rewarding ways to spend time outdoors. If you’d like to camp with your friends or by yourself, book a campsite based on your preferred dates. If you’d like to meet other people while camping attend the many events, we regularly post on our events page.
