CAMP THAT CHANGES SPOTS

Taurus and it’s adorable siblings will offer (March to October) most exhilarating family holidays in the general area of Barot Valley, we fondly call it ‘Switzerland of India’. It’s a green and quiet place to relax and unwind; not stuffed with tourists. When the plains are searing with heat it is nice cool and pleasant to enjoy soothing walks without itchy sweat!

The design of our infrastructure ensures you spend max quality time with your family in a compact wilderness area around Jhatingri while changing spots when needed. This saves your time and money as you don’t spend your time on roads rushing from one spot to another. Though you can opt for short excursions/ sightseeing as extra activity to add flavour to your holiday.
