A friendly river snaking through a bend in the hills, an equally benevolent spread of foliage, the chirping of the birds and starry nights... in a nutshell, just the perfect spot to take the rush of city life out of your system. This is Giri Camp near Solan in Himachal Pradesh, just 6-7 hours drive from Delhi. With the green Shivaliks providing an idyllic setting and the Giri Ganga River adding to its charm, the Camp provides the much-needed break from the pressures of daily routine that we all long for. Lose yourself in the lap of nature, pristine as it was made to be. Pack your bags and reach out for peace...

 
 
 


 
 
 

Activities:-
Water, lovely water:-
Kayaking and swimming in River Giri is a joy you could partake almost any time you feel like as the Camp is right on the bank. If swimming you think is strenuous, just soaking your feet in the flowing water with a book in your hand from a selection available in the Camp is another option. Or else, just let fish give you a pedicure.

Fishing:- Angling is yet another sport you can indulge in -- if you are lucky you can hook a mahaseer. Also available on request is a 'Fisherman's Walk', wherein you can accompany a local fisherman and learn about his tricks of the trade and of course more about the Giri and its habitual tricks and turns.

Purely human:- Apart from delving in things natural, you also have the option of other sports -- both indoors (Carrom, Chess, Scrabble and Monopoly) and outdoors (volleyball on the sand and cricket). And as the sun sets, have a barb-e-cue on the river side along with a bonfire.

Trekking:- Rekindle your wonder lust by hiking into the woods and explore the ways the locals have adopted to adjust in these hard conditions.

Nature’s paradise:- If you are interested in flora and fauna, chances are that you will encounter many of the rare animals and medicinal plants after almost every step you will take around the vicinity of the camp.
