Nature camping is not just in the mountains. You can do it anywhere you feel it too. So, we tried to find a campsite near a lake, river, or any flowing water; and we found one at Natural Habitat.
The place is perfect if you want exclusivity as it only accommodates a single reservation per booking so as not to crowd the area. This makes it an option for your family, friends, colleagues, or any group activities.
Your chill stay here can only cost you 150 per head and you’re free to use their amenities. Electricity and water supplies are available. Wi-fi is even available should you need it.
Just bring your food and drinks with you during your stay. Stores are a bit far from the site unless you would want to go out yourself to procure them. However, there are available drinks for sale (limited only).
The river in the area is clean and refreshing as well.
