About the campsite

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. Though these campsites are just 50 kms apart, they present a vastly different scenery which is sure to make your long weekend camping experience exhilarating.

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.

Go on a spice plantation walk, spot native birds of Western Ghats, lie a hammock & read a book or savor the panoramic view from your tents. The campsite also spoils you with a lavish spread including some interesting native cuisine.

From here we would move to our Superstar campsite in Vagamon.

Vagamon, also called the Scotland of Asia is a gorgeous little hill station located in Idukki district of Kerala. With people frequenting even tiniest of the hill stations around us Vagamon comes as a breath of fresh air that still remains untouched.

Offering breathtaking views of the Western Ghats & the valley below; wake up within the idyllic serenity of the distant mountains & surreal sight of clouds below you. Situated 1:30 hours away from Kumily, you can spend your days exploring the nature trails leading to virgin streams or simply relax with a book as you soak up the fresh mountain air and tranquility of woods. - It’s a paradise for nature lovers.
