Camping in Rishikesh

Camping isn’t always fun. It can be difficult to set your own camps & pray that the weather doesn’t get bad. But I like to be reminded that some good things come from being able to suck it up and push through, no matter what. I think modern life and the internet give us the ability to avoid being bored or doing tasks that are slow and challenging. That’s why the need to be on your own, away from the flashy and fast things is important.

There’s something honest about being with the woods. The man made environment of plastic, cement, stress and worry doesn’t have its harrowing effect here. Though we have evolved over centuries and have left living out in open, but camping in Rishikesh is unparalleled fun. I feel good in my body and good about the world when I am camping.

Perspective of mountains

Mountains allow a lot of time to forget. On camping, I don’t worry about the food or where the water will come from. Nature provides for all. Being in open reminds me what much of the world still looks like and what most of it looked like just 100 years ago.  It connects me with the elements: rocks, dirt, trees, leaves, bushes, shrubs, air – and I feel so free.

Reminds me that I can also do hard work

Sometimes, after just going out on camping in Rishikesh to a new location, I wonder why I started.  A loud voice says “, yeah, this walking up hill thing…sucks.”  But when I get to the top of a hill and set up the camp, it’s usually worth it.  I feel I accomplished something.  The internet addict in me needs this reminder.

 

Makes my mind relaxed

Moving through hills helps to reduce the frequency of thoughts and relaxes my mind. It reduces the normal chatter my mind creates. I focus only on steps, location, the nearby scenery and the birds around. Their voices soothe me on the trail. It’s just me and forest. The rhythm and focus are rejuvenating.

 

Enables me to connect with others in a better way

Conversations in offices, parties or social media are often unsatisfying for me.  There’s a lot of superficiality, wasteful and annoying norms involved.  People rarely show/tell you who they actually are, how they’re actually doing, or what they’re really thinking.  It’s mostly scripts and facades. Camping breaks this monotony and takes my mind to a level that allows me to speak to everyone humbly. Conversations with fellow climbers on the trails while camping in Rishikesh are interesting. People are relaxed, genuine and are not in the need to impress. These trails make you a better listener also.

Trying to be spontaneous? How about exploring undiscovered Uttranchal with us? Join us for camping in Rishikesh.

Camping in Uttaranchal

Uttaranchal isn’t called the heaven just like that. It’s serene mountains and untouched trails offer experiences of a lifetime. There are the places that haven’t been discovered, or the ones which are known – very less people ever visit them. Not because these places are touch to reach, but because not many individuals have courage and enthusiasm to venture out of their comfort zone.

Nature camping is becoming a trend. There are corporates that we know of, who encourage their employees to go out, travel, trek and see the roughness of village life. Such initiatives not only help to bridge the gaps between rural and urban population, but also teaches the latter about the emotion of ’empathy’. Imagine being on a mountain with few strangers and nothing around, but beautiful trees, fresh air and stunning mountains. Imagine how easy it would be for you to experience that peace, those tranquil vibrations and let go of the hurt of the past. We are very tiny, sometimes negligible part of this vast universe. May be it’s time we get rid of our false egos and embrace the life for what it is – simple – and learn to be happy in the moment? And if in case you need a chance to bring out that emotion in you, we are here.

Our camp is located at a quiet place on the side of a hill. We are around 30 kms from Rishikesh, and another 50 from Tehri. From the National Highway, it just takes 10 minutes to reach our camps. You can trek or drive through, right to the parking. We aren’t big, nor do we boast of anything out-of-ordinary, but we do promise you this – once you discover Kasmoli, you will want to come here again, because it’s beautiful, quiet and friendly campsite.

6 Reasons To Encourage Your Child To Go On Summer Trekking

Children Trekking Offroad Camps Kasmoli Rishikesh

Children Trekking 

Saurabh had always been a quiet child. For as long as his mother could remember, he preferred indoors – reading books, playing on smartphone, watching TV and sleeping on holidays defined his style. He did like to step outside once a while and went for occasional rounds on cycle with friends – and that’s it – that was how his life was defined during holidays. When his mother called us with the request to expose her child to the world of trekking and take him to the mountains see life there, we just knew what it would take for him to come out of his shell and explore nature. So two trekking trips and lots of camping later, Saurabh became a different person altogether. His curiosity to know about things grew, and he started taking interest in sports and other recreational activities. So what is it that makes a child undergo a huge change in their outlook when the trek? We give you 10 reasons that we could think of. Feel free to add your own:

  1. Trekking is not just walking; it’s an experience of being close to nature. It is a treat to your senses.
  2. Trekking allows your child to develop his or her sense of inquisitiveness and explore what they have only read in books. Imagine being standing on a mountain of Himalayan range dentist read about it in your book or look at the photograph somewhere. Or imagine discovering migratory birds right at the place where they make their nests and give birth to their offspring.
  3. Trekking is not just an activity; it’s a full body workout. Your child gets to feel the strength of his or her own body and become responsible for own wellbeing.
  4. Sleeping in a tent or walking along new faces, your child gets time to bond and learn the art of communication. Without the interruptions of phone, television; it is sometimes a very dear chance to tell and hear more from each other.
  5. On trekking, children get to know more about not just their surroundings, but also about building fire, meal preparation, cooking, and most importantly learn how to get by without screens.
  6. Fresh air and open sky give time to the children be amazed with stars above and the tranquility of serene atmosphere and clean air around them.
