Looking to escape the scorching heat this summer? Campfest might just be the perfect getaway for you, if you happen to be a freewheeling hippie, free spirit or someone who just wants to do something different in the heart of nature. Campfest is a three day extravaganza in the picturesque Uttrakhand village of Kanatal.
As the site description goes:
CampFest is the celebration of life in its own form. Different people from different parts of the world travel to an offbeat destination in the Himalayas, called Kanatal in Uttarakhand. They are all different, yet they all get united in the vibes of surreal mountains, whispering pines, open skies & chilled nights. To add a catalysing effect to this, the musicians takes the charge. We promise you that you will forget everything for the while. From adventure activities & forest trails to Art, culture, Music & Dance. CampFest has so many beautiful things to do for everyone of all ages. And Yes, the Food is so amazing over there that you’ll crave for more even when you’re full.
As well as an eclectic mix of music including electronic, pop and rock, there are also a variety of outdoor activities to get involved with such as skyrope and zip lining! A perfect way to enjoy the lush green surroundings of Kanatal.
There are three packages to choose from, tent, hut and luxury accommodation. All three including main meals and travel to and from either Delhi or Dehradun. So unlike many festivals which involve lugging a tent and all your belongings into a remote field, this festival provides all the essentials.
Solo travelers can also find a safe, comfortable getaway here, as they will be guaranteed a same sex accommodation area.
The festival runs from the 14th until thw 17th of July, and tickets can be booked through the website http://www.campfest.in
Happy camping!
