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.
