The guests can explore the surrounding
jungles and villages on foot. Day excursions to nearby hills and
streams with picnic hampers are a regular feature. The surrounding
area has innumerable dry riverbeds making it perfect for walking. A
temple on the hilltop and a Pan Chakki (water mill used for
grinding wheat) could also be explored on foot.

Bird
watching is something, which is close to our heart and no
guest returns without his share. Species-specific trips are
organized on request. The area is inhabited by over 400 species of
birds. Hornbills,
Red Jungle fowl, Sunbirds and Jungle Owlets are some of our permanent guests at the
retreat. |

Though difficult but if you still
manage to get tired of the nature holiday you could be a part of the
hustle bustle of the holy cities of
Haridwar and Rishikesh, which are 24km and 18km
respectively. Both cities offer beautiful temples and the ghats on
the River Ganga for a holy dip.
Besides the above day excursions we
offer Treks in Himalayas, Wilderness Camping,
Hill Walking
and much more.
