I stayed in one of the Swiss tents and it was the perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Falling asleep to the sound of the river and waking up to mountain views was incredible. The meals were delicious - simple, fresh and authentic. The snow leopard trek they arranged for us was a highlight of our entire Uttarakhand trip!

As a photographer, I found this place to be a paradise. The hosts were extremely knowledgeable about the best spots for capturing the mountains and wildlife. They even arranged a special early morning trip to catch the sunrise over the peaks. The adventure tents were basic but comfortable, and the atmosphere was peaceful and rejuvenating.
