Location:
The most comfortable mode of travel to get to the camps is through a combination of train and road travel. The closest railway station to the camp is at Haridwar, that is well connected to Delhi and other parts of the country by regular trains and from here one could drive to the camp (5 - 6 hrs).
About:
As the name suggests, lush green forests cradle Himalayan Eco Lodge, located 190 kms from Haridwar. The life giving waters of the mystical Mandakini cut a wide swath through valley, washing over rocks and boulders on their relentless journey to meet the Alakhnanda at Rudraprayag. For the intrepid rafters and kayakers who brave her waters, the Mandakini has everything to offer from breathtaking beauty to mind blowing rapids.
The snow clad peaks of Mount Kedar are visible from the camp itself, while a short trek brings one to the bugyals (meadows) of Chopta, inviting visitors to soak in the bounty of nature. From here one can trek up to Tungnath (the highest Shiva temple in the world) or go that bit further and trek right up to Chandrashilla peak at an altitude of 4050 m. An easier, though equally beautiful trek winding through majestic rhododendron forests, leads one to an amazingly scenic high altitude lake, Deoriatal, where the whole Himalayan range including the mighty Chaukhamba peaks can be seen reflected in its clear waters.
