We visited Nisargshala for the Kutuhal Camp with our 3.5-year-old daughter, and we absolutely loved the experience. The place is beautiful, and our daughter enjoyed every bit of the camp. Watching fireflies at night and sitting under the stars was a magical experience. The activities were fun and engaging, and the food was really good too. Hemant and his team are doing a great job of making the camp enjoyable and memorable for both kids and parents. The only thing we missed was stargazing because of the cloudy weather. But what really stood out was the surprise birthday cake arranged by Hemant and his team. Since a cake wasn't available nearby, Hemant went all the way to get one from about 12 km away. It may seem like a small gesture, but it meant a lot to us and showed how much they care about their guests. Just a note for anyone planning to visit: this place is for people who want to experience nature in its raw and beautiful form. If you're looking for luxury accommodations, this may not be the right fit. But if you love nature and simple, meaningful experiences, you'll have a great time here.

Visited Nisargshala Stargazing Camp with my wife and our 8-year-old daughter, and honestly it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences for us as a family. If someone is expecting a luxury resort, this is not the place — but if you genuinely want your children to experience nature, camping, stars, forests, fireflies, bonfire, and simple outdoor living, Nisargshala is magical. My daughter absolutely loved the entire experience. From the nature trail to stargazing, fireflies, open sky sleeping, and simply running around freely in nature — she enjoyed every moment so much that she literally did not want to go back home the next day. What we personally appreciated most was that the sessions were explained in very simple language which even children could understand and relate to. It never felt like a boring lecture. The entire atmosphere felt very raw, natural, and authentic. Yes, this is a real campsite experience with tents, insects, sounds of nature, dark skies, and outdoor living — and that is exactly what makes it special. The staff and volunteers were warm, helpful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Food was tasty, the BBQ under the stars was a beautiful experience, and lying under the night sky with our child is something we will remember for a long time. Highly recommended for families who want children to experience nature beyond screens and resorts.

Thankyou so much to the founder as well as the entire team of Nisargshala....for my daughter Aarohi it was a 360 degree change from an introvert to extrovert , from choosing to being quite to talking anything and everything that comes to her mind , from internalizing her feeling to expressing without fear of judgement...mother nature is the biggest teacher and nisargshala is the one bridging the gap...making mistake s, owning up , analizing and making sure not to repeat the mistake is the lesson she learnt after which she has blossomed experiencing every moment with excitement n joy .... looking at my daughter happy , receptive and open to life is the most valuable gift Nisargshala has given me...special thank Chaitrali maam and Hemant sir to check on her and guide her...looking forward for next camp venture with Nisargshala 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
