Under the beautiful sky , starry night, cold breeze and excellent narration by gracious host Hemant. I visited this twice for Milkyway photography, star trail and star gazing. Highly recommended for family outing. Vaibhav Dugar2025-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing place for star gazing. Hemant and team deserve many Pats on the back for the way they organized over 120 people to view the plants during the weekend of the 25th & 26th January 2025. They have standard tents and the place can get really cold esp during winters. The sleeping bags they provide are not adequate for cold so if you are travelling over the cold season, do carry additional clothes or a blanket to keep yourself warm. They provide good food and the location is a fine place to view the stars.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Had a wonderful camping experience with Nisargshala last week! Our group of 11 loved the well-organized setup, BBQ, campfire, and stargazing under the clearest skies. Hemant Vavale and his team shared amazing astrophysics insights and even had a telescope. The spacious tents and nature vibes were unforgettable. Rappelling was handled professionally too. Highly recommended for nature lovers! Hoping to visit again in May—totally worth the genuine price. Great job, team!

Highly recommend this place for people who are interested in real camping(do not expect leisure camping here). Wonderful experience at nisargshala. Hemant and Yashdeep were very polite, patient, and knowledgeable hosts. Food and barbecue was tasty. All the activities were also nice like stargazing, moon watching, sound map games, trekking and rappelling. My 9yr old daughter did rappelling. Totally unexpected. Thanks to Yashdeep. Would like to go again with group of friends.
