Glamping is an increasingly popular trend in the Indian travel scene. It combines the adventures of camping with the indulgences of a luxury vacation. The term itself was coined by joining the words 'glamour' and 'camping'. But is it the right kind of vacation for you? No matter what kind of traveller you are, luxury camping tours will always be the perfect fit since they are an amalgamation of different travel styles, retaining the best of each kind of travel to give you a wholesome and winning end product. If you're still doubtful if glamping in India is for you, then read on:
Ultimate Comfort, Ultimate Nature:
What is the best part of camping? Being close to nature, of course! Luxury camps are set in breathtakingly beautiful natural sites all over the country - near mountains, near lakes, in deserts, and dense forests. This enables you to truly enjoy 'the great outdoors.'
While the adventure of 'roughing it out' may be fun for some time while regular camping in India, its novelty wears off surprisingly quickly, if you're not a seasoned camper. After less than a day, you'll wish that you could take a nice hot bath in the privacy of your own bathroom and one night of tossing and turning in a sleeping bag is enough to have you begging to crawl back into your own comfortable bed. That is why luxury camping is just so great - you can enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of a hotel stay such as crisp linen, an en-suite bathroom, a soft and sturdy bed and even luxuries such as a private deck and personal butler, all while revelling in the spectacular beauty of nature!
Ultimate Adventure, Ultimate Culture:
However, just because you're staying in the lap of luxury does not mean your camping trip will lose its sense of adventure, far from it. Luxury camping in India is elevated by the exciting adventure and cultural activities you can partake in. These can range from early morning birdwatching sessions organised and conducted by an expert field guide, white water rafting followed by picnic lunches on the river bank, guided treks and rock climbing expeditions, sightseeing tours where you get to access areas and sites that are not accessible to general tourists, expert cultural and tour guides who help you truly understand the region with their insights and in-depth information and thrilling sports matches you can attend and festivals that you can celebrate with the locals.
As you can see, whether it's nature, luxury, adventure or culture you'd like to focus on in your travels, glamping in India lets you have the best of all these different aspects in a premium package for the ultimate travel experience.
