Overall experience:
This camp is located in Sarchu, almost halfway on the Manali – Leh highway & is operational only for four months in a year. This place is disconnected from the outer world for the rest of the year & hence the camp needs to be dismantled for the remaining eight months. The camp is located at a high altitude of 4290 Mtrs. & offers stunning views of the surroundings. Since the camp is located at a high altitude be prepared for some symptoms of high altitude sickness, however taking certain precautions during & before coming to this place will help you in enjoying this place. Owners have done a great job in setting up this camp site. All the tents are double bedded with attached toilet & running cold water. Hot water is provided on request in buckets. Limited electricity is made available in the evening for 3 - 4 hrs. through gensets. There are separate dining, cooking & staff tents. Meals served are the best one can provide at such an isolated place. Since fresh milk is not available powdered milk is used for making tea & coffee. Camp site has no means of communication with the outside world. Guest here do not stay for more than one night at this place due to high altitude. Staying at this place has to be experienced once in your life time & remember to keep seeping water (mix some Glucon D / Electral powder) to avoid high altitude sickness.
Best Experience
1] Soups, Main Course & Desert – This kind of dinner was unexpected at this place, thanks to the staff for providing piping hot dinner.
2] You have nothing else but mountains for you company. Awesome landscape I would say.
3] Good service, courteous staff.
Worst experience
1] Hot water is supplied only on request & that too it takes some time to get the supply once you make a request. Also the quantity supplied is too less for us to complete our daily rituals & washing hands & face. Agreed that at such places hot water is a luxury but still a little bit of extra care in the matter will help the guests in enjoying the stay in a better way.
2] Roof of all the tents are in V shape which causes some trouble to its occupants since the height on the sides is very less. We saw other campsites where the roof height was equal on all sides.
