| Description |

This is
an activity filled program ideal for families,
based around the Garhwal Himalayas. |
Set amidst towering pine trees on the banks of the River
Tons, the place transports you into classic timelessness.
An ideal setting
to relax and unwind, with breathtakingly beautiful surroundings
and loads of adventure, Camp Mystic River is a compelling
getaway. Situated at Mori (1150 m/3770 ft), its sublime
weather with temperatures between 10-25 degrees Celsius
makes it a much sought after destination in the summer
months. From watching the reflection of the sunrise
in the river to gazing at the starstudded sky in the
night, the natural beauty here is boundless. The place
provides opportunities that are diverse and unique.
Ancient temples with beautiful architectural styles
and a rich cultural heritage. Multi-storied wooden houses
which are amazingly multifunctional. A bevy of natural
pools and waterfalls with translucent waters. High altitude
Bugyals (meadows) and a terrain which lends itself to
a host of exciting activities all add to our camp’s
charm. The proximity of Mussoorie and Shimla is another
attraction for tourists traveling this side. |
