Tiger, tiger, burning bright, in the forests of the night...
After the drill of school and exams, we take our little denizens for a trip to tiger country - Ranthambhore. This nature park is well known for its tigers and other wild animals. This is to be our destination for the children's camp. Read on...

| KIDVENTURE
 Little Tigers at Ranthambhore.
We have taken a departure from our normal camp and are going to hit the jungle trail. The forest guides will drive us through the jungle in the hope of getting a glimpse of the big cat. We will also follow a jungle trail on foot and be part of the magic and mystery of a forest. We will learn to recognise the 'calls' of the different animals as they rise to a crescendo at the approach of a tiger and then die down as the predator moves away. See the smaller animals and the birds on our nature trail - its a whole new world waiting to be explored. The trip will also have a trek to a nearby fort which will round off the 3 day outing.
The group size has been limited to 20 - so book your place today. This will also help us do your booking for travel and stay. Its a walk on the wild side that you sure don't want to miss.
Date: 1st - 5th November '07

Himalayan escapes...
The end of monsoon marks the beginning of some of the most exciting treks in the Himalayas. The air now is crisp and dry and we make most of this clear weather and head out for some exotic and exciting journeys

TREK IN BHUTAN
 Bhutan is a mountain kingdom - a country that has preserved its customs and safeguarded itself from many of the modern intrusions. While we do take in the beauty of the charming towns, its to the mountains we head. The Chomolhari Base Camp Trek will take us along an ancient trade route to some of the most striking areas in Bhutan. It ranges from dense subtropical forest to alpine region replete with snowcapped peaks. The flora & fauna along with the ochre monasteries will make this a journey to remember.

Roopkund (Uttaranchal) - Roopkund of the macabre stories of 300 corpses lying in the frozen lake - visible when the lake thaws. These bones date back to 14 century AD.
