If you are planning for a camping trip to utilise your summer holidays in the lap of nature, “The heart of incredible India”- Madhya Pradesh has something unique for you
Pitching a tent on the ground, sleeping under the stars, having fun with friends and enjoying bonfire with celestial stories, this is what you may have experienced in the past during your camping trip, but what if Madhya Pradesh invite you to experience all these activities in a unique way?
You just need to forget the old-style camping because there is something exciting and better for you in the jungles of Satpura Tiger Reserve (Satpura National Park). Madhya Pradesh Tourism has introduced the newest and most thrilling way to camp out – ‘Tree Camping’ and ‘Gypsy Camping’.
You will also experience stargazing, bonfire, and dusk drive, swimming, riverside jungle trail with bird watching and tribal cuisine with barbeque in Satpura National Park. One more thing that needs to be added is, with tree and gypsy camping, you should not be worried about the creepy crawlers that might intrude inside your tent at night.
Take your trip to next level with tree camping
You do not have to find any clear and smooth ground to pitch the tent. All that is required is some big and stable trees and this is it. You can enjoy this camping sitting in your tent just above the water or on a steep terrain.
You just need to choose how far up from the ground you want to hang your tent. You will be able to explore a better view if you choose to set your camp on a height to witness the scenic beauty of Satpura all around.
Gypsy camping – Night on wheels
Here you are going to experience night on wheels nestled deep in the forest of the Satpura National Park. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, these camps offer a balanced blend of adventures and calmness. With delights of river side camping and stargazing, this trip would take you in a rollercoaster of so many experiences like campfire just beside a river, witnessing the twinkling sky and talking about the secrets of these dense forests.
Experience a perfect morning
The locations for camps are thrilling and safe at the same time. This is your choice, whether you want to go for riverside or a valley view or want to fix a meeting with Satpura’s tribal culture & jungle.
The highest point in the Satpura range, Dhoopgarh hilltop is a beautiful spot to see spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Your morning in Satpura would be the best in your life as you will be able to witness the spectacular sunrise with a cup of tea and breakfast in your hands, listening to relaxing nature songs.
