Camping Night at Kerwa & Morning Trek to Ratapani

Camp under the stars at Kerwa on Saturday, morning trek into Ratapani on Sunday. Two days, one perfect escape, and the Sunday trek is already in the Saturday package.

Saturday is camp: a jungle walk to the sunset spot, a boat ride as the light goes, tents pitched for you, bonfire, karaoke and live music, stargazing if the sky is clear, and authentic village dal bafle for dinner. Washroom amenities on site, and the camp is set up to be safe for couples and women.

Sunday is the trek: forest trails into Ratapani, caves midway, a hidden waterfall to bathe in, and Jungle Paglu special maggi and tea at the water before we walk back. Bring a camera — the views earn it.

Included — shared transport both ways, food (evening snacks, dinner, and two breakfasts — tea at camp, maggi at the waterfall), tent stay, and the activities: sunset boat ride and the morning trek.
