Things to do nearby.
The main draw here is the landscape itself. The hosts can guide you on local trails and drives. The journey to Dodra Kwar is a popular excursion, an adventurous drive on rough roads that opens up to incredible valley views. It is best done in a 4x4 vehicle, which the hosts can help arrange. In September, the apple orchards in the lower valleys are in full bloom. For trekkers, the trails lead up into high-altitude meadows and past small glacial lakes, with the Dhauladhar range often visible in the distance.
Getting there.
The camp is in a remote part of Himachal Pradesh, near Rohru.
By Air - The nearest major airport is Chandigarh (IXC). Shimla's airport (SLV) is closer but has very limited and weather-dependent flights. From either airport, you will need to hire a taxi for the multi-hour drive to Rohru.
By Rail - The nearest major railhead is Chandigarh. For a more scenic approach, the UNESCO-listed Kalka-Shimla toy train runs from Kalka to Shimla. From Shimla, it is a road journey to Rohru.
By Road - Rohru is the nearest town with regular bus and taxi services. The final stretch of road to the camp is unpaved and requires a vehicle with high ground clearance. The hosts can arrange a pickup from Rohru by Gypsy, driven by their trusted driver, Ravi.
Best time to visit.
The best months to visit are from March to June, when the snow has melted and the weather is pleasant, and again from September to November for clear skies and post-monsoon greenery. Guests visiting in September have noted that the apple orchards are in full bloom. The monsoon months of July and August see heavy rain, and landslides can affect road access in the region. Winter, from December to February, brings heavy snow, making the area difficult to access.
