Wildrift has carefully chosen the settings of its camps at Saat-tal, Kyari (Corbett) and Mukteshwar in the Kumaon Himalayas for the discerning traveller. Which, quite naturally, means they're not the kind of place frenzied holiday makers throng to in droves.

However, if you are not looking for bustling bazaars, jostling malls, videos in every room, music systems in every passing car, and other such hill-station attractions you might consider our camps quite charming.

For what you'll find instead, is mountains, trees, lakes, conifer-scented air, stars, birds, fish, the friendly villager, the odd leopard and perhaps the occasional ghost. And, if you're not content to simply sit around surrounded by all of the above, there's trekking, rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, fishing and day dreaming.
