NATURE EDUCATION CAMP, DANGS
 |
Deep
in Dangs at home with Mother Nature |
What’s better than a
winter camp, with songs around lantern fire, hiking, swimming and making new
friends? Only one thing
-NATURE
EDUCATION CAMP. We take all fun of a regular camp and add something
special: Nature study and exciting adventures and experiences to
develop love for nature.
Set deep amidst the most beautiful and dense part of Gujarat’s thickest
forest, be party to songs of the Shama and listen to beckoning of the jungle
fowl. Our Nature education camp is designed to help you to discover the
wonderful world of nature. It is a change of pace – a chance to learn about
the natural history and ecology of our forests.
So this Diwali break, be there! Because, being with nature can be one of
the life’s unforgettable experiences.
