I knew i was going to love my stay when a carpet of red greeted my feet. The rhododendron forest was in bloom, i could smell spring in the air. ... more Prashant Bisht the owner of the camp in the sanctuary brought his highly suspect 4WD down to meet us. I awoke every morning to the most astoundingly gorgeous views of my favourite mountain, The Nanda Devi. The himalayas stretching from Nanda Devi till the Panchachuli peaks are visible when you open your eyes lying in the deliciously comfortable tent bed. There is nt a soul to disturb you here. Long walks, a couple of hikes, walks through the village and lots of local food. It's solar lighting and lanterns, quite quaint.

They arent really expensive either, i think the tariff is about Rs. 1800 per person inclusive of all meals and taxes. The poor guys have to fetch every single thing from Almora town, so i guess they do have to charge you 4WD rates.
