The camp

A campsite on a working Kumaoni farm

Our Swiss tents stand on an open lawn in Koon Adhora village, facing the hills. It is a proper camping experience with real beds, so you get the fresh air and the bonfire without roughing it.

Days are slow: tea with a view, a village walk or trek, lunch at the cafe. Evenings bring the bonfire, acoustic songs and, on clear nights, a sky full of stars you can't see from town.

Prefer a room?

Want walls and a roof instead?

Our farmstay rooms have attached bathrooms and lockable doors, and are the warmer choice in the colder months. You still get the same lawn, food and bonfire.
