New year Eve Camping

Spend the New Year's Eve with nature, primitive camping at the picturesque location surrounded by the majestic Sahyadri ranges. Enjoy a barbecue meal along with local homemade food on firewood.

We are welcoming campers of all age groups, who love blending with nature, away from mobile coverage. Pick-up and drop is available from Kasara Railway station, or you choose to drive down in your own vehicle, to Samrad village.

Please Note: This isn’t a commercial campsite, it is an open area close to the banks of the backwater where we are pitching our own double layered four-person tents. It involves a 1 km hike from the drop-off point, so carry suitable footwear for the walk.

Highly recommended if you want to go offline, away from the city revelry and noise, and spend time with yourself, under the starry skies on New Year's Eve.
