Camp Exterior
Few Camp Etiquette
- As the property lies in a forest area , we do not solicit post at 21 00 hrs and before 8 00 hrs . As many roads leading to the property may have reserve forest barriers to cross .
- Please carry the minimum of valuables , as the tents do not have a lock-in key.Fishing is allowed only in the presence of a fishing guide or a fishing girl under camp supervision . Fishing also requires fishing permits, which we should be happy to get for you .
- The camp is based on eco concepts, so we do not have a generator , and power cuts are frequent . Please do note outside food , alcohol, eatables , and beverages are not allowed on the camp premises .
- Also, there are army and SSB posts prior to the property. They may ask for a normal check-up of your vehicle and details. Please co-operate with them as it’s an international border routine. So do avoid keeping any alcohol in your car .
- We support the local economy, so we source the alcohol at a nominal increment , from the local wine shops , of course, with limited choice , and an advance notice will be appreciated.
- All the furniture at the property is made by local artisans and all the camp has been built using local services in and around Pancheshwar.
- All staff are from Uttarakhand state only. If you like their services, we would request you to tip the staff generously , as they get limited opportunities in remote areas, and the entire business at Pancheshwar is nature-bound and limited to only 6 months of the year. This helps the youth economy not to move out of the state looking for employment.
- The camp remains closed in the monsoon , so the entire structure is dismantled and re-built as the monsoon retreats. The dates of camp closure due to the monsoon are from July 1 to September 20 . The camp opens for guests on October 1 . It remains closed for about 90 days.
- Do note the nearest market is 38 kms from the camp, so almost all our supplies come from a distance . A physician is available within 3 kms of the property .Pancheshwar is a small village town with only 100 families .
- Music needs to be played only with your personal headphones.
- The property is on an international border , so please do not carry any satellite phones or drones for photography.
