The Camp
BodhiSatva

Towered by a thick Deodar and
pine forest and engulfed in a maze of fruit trees of apple, peach, apricot
and plums, Camp BodhiSatva is one for the calling. The surroundings will
make you reminisce, the place will make you nostalgic and the weather will
turn you in to an incorrigible romantic.
It is a place which can give you food for thought, a time for adventure and
to top it all, it will help you blend with nature in the best possible way.
Located near the small and quaint hill town of Rajgarh in district Sirmour
of Himachal Pradesh (India) The Camp BodhiSatva is about 45 Km from Solan
off the National Highway to Shimla. The nearest railhead Kalka being only 4
Hrs away makes it another interesting weekend getaway option. Till now
missing from the tourism maps Rajgarh has more to offer than what meets the
eye on a macro view. Lush Green Valleys, Dense Forest, healthy bird life,
clean and fresh mountain air and to top it all the ever-imposing serenity of
the camp. Come spend some time here and you will know why we could not have
given any other name to this camp.

Camp BodhiSatva is set up in a
fruit orchard at Haloni Pul, Rajgarh. A small patch of orchard land is used
for the camp leaving much of the flora in its undisturbed state. Here you
can challenge the Churadhar peak (12000-ft), which is about two days of Hike
two ways, or you can just choose to relax at the camp swinging on a Hammock.
Or if you may please bask in the sun by the small river near the camp, going
in for that very occasional dip every now and then. There is just no end to
what you can do at the camp so come and explore it for yourself.
Rajgarh is more like a place where the yesterday had met today in perfect
harmony. Fully integrated communication networks, regular supply of
electricity, good transport network proximity of supply centers can make
life as urbane as you like. On the other hand the laid-back village
lifestyle, scarcity and spread of population allow for a quiet and relaxed
time to yourself.

The two perennial streams
around the camp are a boon to the natural beauty of the place. The camp is
set up in a terraced fruit orchard facing a mountain. The narrow valley
around the camp results in cold breeze around the camp at all times. And the
thicket of Deodar trees around the camp helps maintain the temperature
around the camp at an acceptable high at the hottest of all times.
Its place that can let you be,
make you see, let you indulge and be high on life at all times. The perfect
destination for your BodhiSatva.
