Some of the unbeatable memories are made during camping. The startling touch of the hilly chills, the captivating aroma of the warm campfire, the outstanding interactions and an extraordinary night under the bright stars – camping is all about this. Camping is also about reconnecting your soul to a newer set of adventures amongst the wilderness of nature and into the woods, but why? Because sometimes it’s ok to make time go wasted to relish the true happiness you always wanted to seek. And this is where Bagheera River Retreat, Rishikesh brings your secret fantasies to reality.
