Camp Forktail Creek - Jeep Safaris

Our Special Trips - Himalayan FRH Tours

Imagine driving in a rugged open jeep into the middle of a forest,

and breaking camp in an ancient bungalow amidst the wild…

Developed for visitors who love adventure and wildlife, Camp

Forktail Creek’s Himalayan Forest Rest House Tours combine the

best of jungle safaris with the unbeatable experience of staying

in atmospheric bungalows built in the days of the Raj.

There are at least a hundred such Rest Houses scattered all

over Kumaon and Garhwal Himalayas (western Himalayas). Most

were built over a century ago, and a few still retain the grandeur

of days gone by. Our selection of Rest Houses is based on its

colonial architecture and the forests around it.

What to Expect

Expect to experience the forest up close and personal on such

trips. Great bird watching, excellent walks, superb photo

opportunities and nights out in the middle of nowhere are

guaranteed! Most of these Rest Houses do not have electricity,

which is all the better to enjoy the jungle. Rest assured -- we

take ample lanterns and candles to provide lighting where

necessary.

When to Go

The beauty of these trips is that they can be taken throughout

the year; different seasons bringing different hues to the

landscape. Winter months (Oct to March) would be best for

Himalayan views.

Custom Trips

Himalayan Forest Rest House Tours are easily customized to suit

the profile and interests of the people traveling - be they bird

watching, wildlife, Himalayan views, old colonial architecture,

age old Kumaoni temples, discovering the way of life in small

local hamlets, solitude or peace and tranquility.

On custom trips, accommodations can also be arranged in some

of the beautifully located and built private homes that people in

these parts rent out. This depends entirely upon guest

preferences and the route taken.
