Campfire cooking is a highlight of any trip. Pack simple, hearty meals that can be easily prepared over a fire or on a camp stove. Think hot dogs and s'mores, hearty stews, or veggie wraps with fresh ingredients.

4. If You Choose The Mountains

Pitch your tent amidst the majestic peaks of Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, or Uttarakhand. Trek under clear skies, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and let the silence wash over you. Spiti Valley too is a great place to camp amid the cold.

5. If Desert Is Your Choice

Embrace the stark beauty of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan or try Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. Sleep under a million stars, ride camels through golden dunes, and lose yourself in the endless horizon.

6. If You Are The Beach Bum

Trade sandy desktops for sandy beaches in Goa, Kerala, or Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Listen to the rhythm of the waves, feel the warm sand between your toes, and let the ocean cleanse your soul with a choice of a cold beverage.

7. Just Unplug And Relax

Ditch your phone or put it in aeroplane mode. Pack a good book, a deck of cards, or travel-sized board games. Bring a journal and pen to capture your thoughts and experiences. Reconnect with the lost art of conversation around a crackling campfire, gazing at the star-studded sky, or sharing stories under the sun.
