Relish your holidays with gypsy and tree camping in Madhya Pradesh

Planning a camping trip to utilise your summer holidays in the lap of nature? Madhya Pradesh, the “Heart of Incredible India” has something unique for you.

-

Pitching a tent on the ground, sleeping under the stars, having fun with friends and enjoying a bonfire with celestial stories. This is what you may have experience­d in the past during your camping trip, but what if Madhya Pradesh invites you to experience all these activities in a unique way?

You just must forget the traditiona­l camping in favour of something more thrilling and better in the jungles of Satpura Tiger Reserve (Satpura National Park). Madhya Pradesh Tourism has introduced the newest and most exciting ways 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 a 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

To pitch the tent, you don’t need to find any flat, level land. All that’s needed are some large, stable trees, and that’s all. You can enjoy this camping sitting in your tent just above the water or on steep terrain.

All you have to do now is decide how high you want your tent to be hung from the ground. You will be able to explore a better view if you choose to set your camp at a height to witness the picturesqu­e grandeur of Satpura all around.

Gypsy camping – Night on wheels

Here you are going to experience a 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 tranquilli­ty. With delights of riverside camping and stargazing, this trip would take you on a rollercoas­ter of so many experience­s, like a 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 both thrilling and safe. Whether you wish to see a riverfront or a valley vista, or schedule a meeting with Satpura’s tribal culture and jungle, the choice is yours.

The Dhoopgarh hilltop, at the summit of the Satpura range, is a fantastic site to see breathtaki­ng sunsets and sunrises.

Your morning in Satpura will be the best in your life as you will be able to witness the spectacula­r sunrise while sipping tea and eating breakfast while listening to soothing nature sounds.

What to carry?

Nothing! You will be given all the required camping gear and equipment along with the tents. So just pack your bag, keep the essentials and head to Madhya Pradesh to experience tree and gypsy camping.
