Camping Tour Packages in India
Sleep under the stars by the Ganga, on the dunes of Jaisalmer or beside Pangong Lake. We book safe, clean camps with meals, bonfires and activities, and we handle the transfers so that you can just enjoy the outdoors.
Camping Tour Packages in India Overview
Camping in India can be a basic tent night or a luxury tent with a proper bed and an attached bath. Popular spots include the sandy banks of the Ganga near Rishikesh, the dunes of Sam near Jaisalmer, the Rann of Kutch tent city in winter, Pangong Lake in Ladakh, snow camps near Manali and Kasol, and lakeside camps near Pawna, Lonavala and Coorg.
We choose camps by comfort, safety and location, and share what to expect before you book. Our plans include tents, mattresses, meals, a bonfire, local activities and transfers. Some places, such as Ladakh and parts of Kutch, need permits and have rules about fires and waste, which we arrange and explain. Camps in seasonal areas close in the monsoon or when the weather is bad.
From ₹3,500 per person for a one night riverside camp near Rishikesh with meals and activities. Final price depends on camp type, season and group size
