Camp Mystic River

Here is a place that transports you into classic timelessness, set amidst towering Pine and Deodar trees by the River Tons (For the uninitiated Tons is the largest tributary of the Yamuna), Camp Mystic River makes for a compelling getaway.

From watching the reflection of the sunrise in the river to gazing at the star-studded sky in the night, the wonders of this camp are boundless. The Legendary Har ki dun valley is but a stones throw away. The drive through the valley is full of multi-coloured flowers - nasturtiums with bright yellow and red flowers, primulas, geraniums, white chrysanthemums, and wild roses of various hues, junipers, cedar and birch forests which are among the best in the entire Garhwal Himalayas.

Among the foremost attractions of Camp Mystic River is its ability to provide you with that absolute chilled out experience with not a care in the world. It provides you with opportunities that are diverse and unusual; Ancient temples that have some astonishing traditions, parts of the valley still worship Duryodhan. Architecture that is unique with wooden houses that are multi storied and amazingly multi-functional. A bevy of natural pools, with their pellucid waters are ever beckoning.

For the white water enthusiast, the river is challenging and exciting, fast and furious. Some of the rapids here are likely to quench your thirst in more ways than one. The camp also forms an ideal base for the Har ki dun trek. But that's not all, a 5 day trek from the camp and you enter the Sangla Valley bringing you the best of Garhwal and Himachal.

So as you can see....its all going be happening here this Summer!
