Fifty kilometers from Nainital and Saat-tal, perched on Mukteshwar ridge, surrounded by apple and peach orchards is a camp inspired by a color that blends perfectly with nature. Watching the sun set (or rise ) over Himalayan peaks, the distant graded mountains and the morning mist will all help explain why we couldn't have given it any other name.
