the imposing Churadhar peak (12000-ft) the options are enough to
keep you occupied for a month.
Rock Climbing & Rappelling – Learn the basics of rock
climbing on the flat rock face near the camp. Things you can learn
include three point climbing techniques, holds and grips and energy
reservoir maintenance and preservation. On the subtle end you will
also realise the importance of planning, co-ordination, patience,
listening and motivational values for your team-mates. You will also
learn the act of rappelling i.e. descending on the rock face you
just climbed but no hold or grips just the rope and you and your
knees and feet (for a group of Min 8 pax Charges Rs. 150.00 per
person)
River Crossing – You also learn the act of river crossing over
the base tied across the stream near the camp.
Splash Swimming – The presence of two perennial stream around
the camp present good opportunities for day picnics around small
pools up in the valley hidden from the whatsoever little population
that exists in the area.
Fishing and Angling – A small trip to Giri Pul on the Giri
River a famous spot for fishing can be very rewarding. Of course
your own gear is essential.
Bird Watching – The residents of this area agree that the bird
population in the area is a very healthy one. From the Himalayan
Magpies to Mainas or even the woodpeckers for the avid bird watcher
we suggest you pack your lunch before you move away from the camp
for indulging in your favourite past time
Visit to the Waterfall – Hidden in to the valley is a
beautiful waterfall that can give you a good massage if you just
stand under it for a few minutes. A good spot to party around and
have fun lazing around in the water.
Kite Flying – The location of the camp makes it a near perfect
place to walk over to any mountain top and get in the act of flying
kites. So go ahead let it go.
Recreation – We have a small make shift badminton court,
carom, dart, badminton, chess, daily bonfires, to keep you occupied
at any time. In Planning are things like Machaans, Monkey swings,
Rope swings, Rope ladders, Tarzan Swings etc..
The Sunrise (Set) Trek - Early morning one can set out to the
nearest mountain top area to watch the sunrise on the distant graded
Himalayan Mountains. Watching the sunset, which can be seen from
many locations, from Rajgarh Mountain tops is a treat to the eyes.
Make sure you have your camera ready before you dissolve in the
plethora of colors all around you.
