A few of the routes/villages

Sasbani:

A slightly longer hike, picturesque nonetheless. Filled with plum orchards and bits of peaches too.

Apart from plucking gathering grading and packing the fruit you can of course eat fresh plums off the trees, have a pahadi meal, have fresh plum juice (mixed with vodka), roast some chicken in the orchard fire and add spiced plum sauce to the roast.

Supakot:

Easier hike through old houses of the Gehna village on fringe of a forest. This village is known for its plump peaches dripping with juices. A fresh peach off the tree is enough to produce ecstasy. We could experiment with peach schnapps, make fresh peach cobbler or an amazing peach mint salad. A picnic lunch in the orchard overlooking expansive views.

The hike back can be through the dense jungles for an amazing wild experience.

Sunkiya:

An easy downhill hike to the village filled all possible fruits.. again cookouts with succulent apricot chicken.. Or an apricot chutney, fresh peach halves with cream.. the list is endless. All this while climbing low trees, plucking and packing. If you want we could even camp out in the orchards and sleep to the fragrances of the fruits.

Feeling fruited?

Well the evening at the camp are also filled with campfires and barbe ques .. trying different ideas with fruit mixes for your drinks.

In some hikes we can also pluck and eat the wild Kaafal berry, which are very tangy and sweet and is made into delightful local snack involving mustard oil and some spices.

Your Himalayan holiday at camp Purple would also be interspersed with birding trails, sunrise/set hikes, waterfall baths & jungle night treks.

Accommodation:

American Safari Tents on Twin/family sharing. Both cots and ground bedding could be arranged on request. Sleeping bags and quilts ensure a comfortable stay surrounded by nature.

Lounging chairs and campfire stools blending with the natural environment are interspersed at the campsite.

Hygienic toilet tents with w/c and running water flushes are also provided.

Maintaining the natural jungle environment no electricity is used at the camp. Kerosene/solar lanterns are used to light the camp adequately during the night.
