Himalayan Eco Lodge & Camps – Jayalgarh, Srinagar Perfect Camping getaway. Just 80 Km from Rishikesh.
I am writing this to share a experience of travelling from New Tehri to Jayalgarh, Srinagar (Uttarakhand). When we woke up, we had a lovely morning tea and took bath , got ready for breakfast. After a delicious breakfast we got ready to head for Jayalgarh, Srinagar. Even though one can not resists to try different cuisines however experienced hill travelled people say when you have to travel in hills one should eat less. Nevertheless, We started at around 1045 Hrs from New tehri to Jayalgarh. Once we reached to the new tehri town the weather started getting warmer however as we go closed to the tehri dam and once we took the road from inside the dam for srinagar it was one of the amazing experiences to have driven along the Dam. One could feel that one can touch the water by sitting inside the SUV. The distance from new Tehri to Jayalgarh is Approx 90-95 Kms. The route to jayalgarh was smooth. While the route has many places where one can get small shops however one can also witness the farming done and the flora and fauna which is amazing in some places. There is no unwanted construction, the polution is to its minimal and air is healthy , fresh and you feel glad to be away from the hustle and bustle of usual city life.
Once we reached the camp, we went inside and sat in the restaurant with a welcome drink. Upon finishing the welcome drink it was time to explore the camp. I must say the first think which came from my mouth was “WOW” as the campsite is situated on the bank of Alaknanda River. Its 20 feet above the River. There is a beautiful lawn area. The camp has spacious deluxe tent with good furniture used. The tents have attached toilets with running hot and cold water. They have solar panels for heating the water. The restaurant in itself is situated on great location. There is a great view of alaknanda river flowing which one can view sitting in the restaurant extension and watch the river flowing for hours.
The camp has 20 Spacious Deluxe tents with attached toilets. It has running hot and cold water facilities.There are two stretch of rafting session which happen here. One starts from Srinagar and ends right in front of the camp and second starts in front of the camp and ends in devprayag. the rapid grade is II – III. The other activities of adventure which can be enjoyed are bridge slithering, Rock Climbing, Rappeling, Jumaring,cliff jumping, Valley Crossing, Trekking, Village visit, Cycle Tour.
The Camp definetly has some edge on it competition Shivpuri or Kaudiyala belt. For example this camp is operation 12 month unlike the other in shivpuri OR Kaudiyala operate only for 06-7 months. The amenities of running hot and cold water and attach toilet is not with them. The Gol Ghar of the camp based in shivpuri and kaudiyala get very warm during the day whereas at jayalgarh we have fans in the restautant Therefore for corporate groups conference along with the adventure can be a great combination as conferencing is a remote possibility in shivpuri and kaudiyala camps.
This place is meant for Families wanting spend few days in the nature, for adventure seekers, For outdoor Training programs etc. a Very thought in the mind of standing with a cup of tea on the bank of a river with a team or friends and discussing on some topic. This certainly can’t get better than this. So why to wait, Connect with us and let us work out a package for you for the same.
After the visit, it was time for us to enjoy the lunch. a very balance lunch . Had a arhar Daal, Chapatti, Salad and palak aalo ka saag. While starting back from the camp i had requested for a lemonade made of “PAHADI LEMON” which i enjoyed with little sip till i reached dehradun. The route from Jayalgarh was to rishikesh and once we reached rishikesh we turned for Dehradun to catch the train at 0900 Hrs.
Must say a very enjoyable and refreshing experience. For all of them who are interested in such a location can get in touch with us on 9910044472 OR can drop us a mail on sales@tiarrahotels.com
