Camp Room on the Roof

GIO's camp, aptly called "Room On The Roof" sits atop a hill, comfortably nestled on a ridge at Chakrata. Visited by few and far from civilization
at an altitude of 2200 m Chakrata, as the name suggests a place of mind-boggling dimensions that can send you into a tizzy.

An area that has many options with its pristine forests & ridges, now open to all of you who seek that trip away from the path oft trodden. As you approach the campsite, feel yourself getting enveloped by a deluge of greenery, trees of all sizes and shapes, virgin forests of conifers, oaks and rhododendrons that can be seen with unfailing regularity.

A major attraction is are the Himalayan peaks that seem to be a stones throw away. Equally compelling is a trip to Tiger Falls, 35 Km away, its cascading water is a real treat to sore eyes.

This camp is truly a tribute to the Indian Outdoors, places that are in no hurry to find themselves on the tourist map of India.
