Having got used to living in luxury with all modern facilities, it
may seem a challenge to live in a camp or tented accommodation with just
the basic minimum. Believe me though, it is real fun too, and the camps
have the advantage of being pitched at just about any place and be
very close to the nature. Camps teach us how to make the most of bare
minimums, be eco friendly and protect the nature. The basic concept of
camps is to take nothing from nature,( flowers, plants, fruits etc.) and
give nothing, (plastic bottles, wrappers, plastic bags etc.)
Different camps
around Delhi have different level of comforts, also the kind of tents
available for living may vary from alpine (most basic) to Swiss deluxe (
with attached bathrooms and all facilities. Toilets in all camps are
separate and may be sand pit or flush type. Some camps have just the
floor bedding while others have beds and all. Most are in forest areas
with lot of green trees and shade all around.
Apart from the different experience of camping, the real fun is the
variety of activities one can do at the camp. Go for rock climbing, rappelling,
nature walks, jungle safari, river crossing and much more.
