This long weekend get ready to camp in two of our most popular campsites in Vagamon & Thekkady. Both these campsites offer unmatched views right from your tent.

Your first stop would be at our Camp Cloudscape Campsite in Kannimarchola, Thekkady.
Located in an enviable 50 acre spice plantation in Thekkady Hills this Camp spot is anyone's dream come true! This 'you drop your camera for a minute & you will miss a beautiful photograph' campsite is home to a variety of flora & fauna. The campsite even houses a small antique museum.

From the moment we arrived, the trip was an absolute whirlwind of adventure and excitement. The activities were well-curated and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of these stunning destinations. However, what truly stole our heart was the unique opportunity to stay in a tent above the clouds in both Vagamon and Thekkady. Waking up to the breathtaking view each morning was an experience beyond words.
The gastronomic delights that were presented to us deserve special mention. The sumptuous meals that were prepared during the trip were a feast for the senses. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing the local flavors and ingredients of the region. It truly added an extra layer of delight to the entire journey.
The engaging games and activities provided a perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. It was evident that careful thought had been put into designing these experiences, ensuring that every participant had a memorable time. It was wonderful to connect with fellow travelers and share in the camaraderie of the group.
A heartfelt salute goes out to Rohit?, our remarkable host. His meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication ensured that every minute aspect of the trip was taken care of. His warm and friendly demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere that made us all feel at home.
In conclusion, our journey with Exoticamp? to Vagamon and Thekkady was nothing short of phenomenal. The combination of adventure, breathtaking views, delectable food, engaging activities, and outstanding hospitality made it an experience that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you, Exotic Camps, for crafting such a memorable and awe-inspiring adventure.
Thanks
Joy & Jemi

I had an Amazing experience with exoticamp. Went for the Thekkady and Vagamon camp during the 15th August long weekend and I must say this was one of the best camps I have been on! Right from booking till the last day when we were dropped off to our final destinations, they took real good care of us! The cost was extremely reasonable for the services provided, food was really good, had a good spread and finally their campsites were out of a movie with some of the best views! This was my first camp with them but definitely not my last!

Best "Go to" people if you are really in search of Nature for a camping away from your work!
We went with our 2 year old daughter with Exoticamp to Vagamon and Thekkady camping. It's the safest to take Family/kids.
Kudos to Rohit who hosted this right from the beginning we boarded bus till the end. He organized everything perfectly without any delays / without missing any of the itenery.
