      I am from Uttarakhand and travelled to 8-9 states in India. Travelled to remote location with family and kid. The only bad experience I have was in a place just 20 km from my hometown. Not saying people are bad but few bad apples. And these kinds of word spread very fast

    From -26C to +40C, we have been camping in Canada in the remotest and dense forests but there are still organized campgrounds in those places if you don't want to go backcountry. People mostly follow the law, no loud talking, no loud music, no honking and no unnecessary lights. We really want to camp at some places in India but I see a clear lack of respect for nature which is very sad because India is sooo beautiful.

  • @mahendn

    Well explained. My suggestion, govt must promote Private camp grounds where everything you mentioned can be fixed. But in all private campgrounds, they're charging more money as they're offering package only option that includes dirty tents, blankets, food and activities. If you want to pay only for ground they don't allow you to pitch your own tents. Finally, I Saw many Indians when they're in abroad they don't litter but when they come to India they do, this culture is mixed up in their blood.

    Agree, I was wondering how is the camping scene in India. But it is also true that unlike many other countries you can have things that no other country provides. Like for example, backpacking with very limited budget, transportation to almost all places using public transport or even accommodations both ultra budget and expensive luxury hotels. Can you recommend places outside of India which has a great camping scene? Not like US or Canada but something budget friendly. I've heard of Vietnam not sure how safe it is though.

U can spend any Natural Spots up to late evening ... and Back near by village or small cities ... where spend night ...And ... again visit same or other spots if u wish ... This is absolutely foolish decision when U travel with Family and decide to camp to stay there where nobody near..

As of now either we can enjoy safe camping in organised camps by resorts or stay in eco-Farms..

    Brother swear ,my entire family tries not to put garbage anywhere on road or in garden or any place but the problem is when you have wet garbage along with you that drips liquid ,you need to throw it somewhere and our dear politician's who talk about Swatch Bharat don't find the necessity of installing garbage bins even in highly populated places ... If you have travelled abroad every 500 metre you will find a garbage bin , however in India you need to walk 2 to 3 km in crowded places and 10 km in isolated places to find a garbage bin. keep your hand on your heart and be honest don't you think it's unfair from politician's side by not installing them and just by giving cleanliness speech using telemropter won't be the solution.... You can't carry wet garbage you have to throw them somewhere as it stinks in a while. Sorry but seriously this country doesn't give good vibes with locacuous politics and fallacious government promises.

    Bhai @AB Ventures bohot sensitive and important point discuss kiya bro aap ne. Due respect for the the insight I too had a bad experience as such which completely unexpected where, people fined ₹7000 to us early morning while we were travelling in a friend group, bhai paise toh nai diye jhagda hua. Thoda zyada jhagda hua aur police bhi aayi but, we left smiling abiding the law lawfully. But I was scared to think about such an instance if I had had been with my family. We actually need to form an organisation or a authoritative body setting up rules to punish and stand up for the campers and tourists. Regardless the fact we do have Tourism Management Ministers who are either home sick or have no idea about actual tourism concepts, thus a body standing for campers and individual tourists is a mandate in a country like ours where we have 465 people/sq km, where we are more scared of people than animals.
