Why Camp In Rishikesh

Why Camp in Rishikesh

Rishikesh sits where the Ganges comes down out of the Himalayan foothills, which is why it draws four very different kinds of travelers — and most Shivpuri campsites, including ours, are set up to give you all four in one trip.

Riverside Landscapes

Our tents pitch directly along the Ganges in Shivpuri, with the river on one side and forested hills on the other — no town noise, no traffic, just water and tree line.

Adventure on the Doorstep

River rafting on the Ganges runs right past the campsite, with stretches graded for first-timers and for experienced paddlers, plus bungee jumping and zip-lining nearby in Mohan Chatti.

Morning Quiet, Evening Bonfire

Mornings are for the river mist and a quiet walk along the bank; evenings are for a bonfire, home-style Himalayan food, and stargazing — no yoga-retreat pressure, just a working camp routine.

Wildlife at the Edge of Camp

Shivpuri borders Rajaji National Park, so it's common to spot deer and a wide range of birdlife right from the campsite without booking a separate safari.
