Pretty birds sang for us – the village walk to Nagtale village along the Western Ramganga River and the hiking in the area; viewing snow capped peaks was amazing. Mountains and jungles bathed in moonlight nights were serene. The staff gave us a home coming that we can never forget.

I had great experience in couple of days which is far from city life. The moment was unforgettable for me. The service was also excellent! Sameer Biswal, March 2010 – Delhi, India

Enjoyed every minute of my 5-day stay at the camp. Sambar and wild boars in the salt lick – as I opened my doors in the mornings. Golden Mahseer and Kalabans in the beautiful river, and wonderful hospitality form evey member of the establishment. What more can you want? Thanks to Misty and his team. A.K.
