Camp Jayalgarh, Our premier riverside camp stands on the banks of the Alaknanda at Jayalgarh (near Devprayag). Far from the
bustle of popular touristy destinations yet conveniently close to a rail head and airport, Camp Jayalgarh is ideally located for the
urbanite who loves the natural experience. It is connected to a National highway as well, making it easily accessible from New
Delhi. This is the perfect getaway for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. If the Alakhnanda offers a unique rafting
experience, the surrounding hills are ideal for activities like rock climb ing and rappelling. Short, scenic hikes and beautifully isolated
glades full of exotic birds and butterflies add to the magic. The tents are spacious, each with its own independent toilets and
washrooms with running water offering you all the creature comforts of home amidst the rugged terrain making for an
unforgettable outdoor experience.
