Fifty
kilometres from Nainital and Saat-tal,
perched on Mukteshwar ridge, surrounded
by apple and peach orchards is a camp
inspired by a colour that blends perfectly
with nature. Watching the sun set (or
rise ) over Himalayan peaks, the distant
graded mountains and the morning mist
will all help explain why we couldn't
have given it any other name.
Mukteshwar is located on one of the highest
ridges in the middle Kumaon and apart
from breathtaking Himalayan views, it
is also known for its fruit orchards.
Long walks through the meadows, jungles
and villages make for experiences close
to nature, the hill people, their history
and culture. For the more adventurous,
endless days can be spent at the cliffs
trying different grades of rock-climbing
and rappelling with our professional instructors.
Mukteshwar is also the headquarters for
the Indian Vetinerary Research Institute,
which is a British time establishment
and makes for an interesting guided tour
with its angora rabbits, guinea pigs and
pashmina goats.
Apart from the above, day picnics out
in the jungles, meadows and streams, workshops
based on forestry and other community
development projects, on kite-making and
flying and stargazing await you as much
as the blazing campfire, endless cups
of tea and day-dreaming on sun- drenched
grassy slopes.
