the tents themselves were relatively comfortable, but the best things abt camp purple were
1) the kind, helpful and welcoming staff. one of our travellers got sick but the staff went out of their way to help them out.
2) the brilliant adventure activities for those who love them.
3) a nice basketball court with lovely views of the mountainside...

-
Fifty kilometers 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 sunset (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 (7290 Ft) is one of the highest ridges in the middle Himalayas, hence it serves as a great vantage point for panoramic views of the snow covered mountains (including Nanda Devi - one of the highest Indian peaks) Mukteshwar literally means 'Abode of Shiva' and has a Shiva temple at the highest hill on the ridge. In the temple complex is an ashram run by an old babaji, who has large following from different parts of the world. Possible activities at the Camp: Treks to meadows, jungles, the temple/ashram and hidden villages.Rock-Climbing and Rappelling from cliffs.Paragliding (tandem flights) depends on weather.Kite making & flying workshops.
