We walked back on the same route, which was now completely covered in white. We rested for the night at Tsomo and left the next day for Lower Shingra, where we reached in the afternoon. The following day, we trekked 12 kilometres towards Chilling, the nearest town, climbing through two landslides that had occurred in the past few days. As we got closer to Chilling, we met the van with the two team members who had left the previous evening to arrange for us to get out of the mess. Without any delay, we jumped into the van — relieved, tired and happy. Finally home, I will say one thing for any one who plans to experience this trek — be prepared to come back changed. Life as you know it will never be Waterproof Tents for sale the same again!
She had a wonderful, cushy job with a PR agency. And then, one fine day, just like that, she gave it all up and started Camp Expeditions, to put up tents, row a boat, barbecue yummy food, light a campfire and play camp games, all to keep urban-tired people inspired by Nature.So, what does Prabha Vikram actually do? She runs a campsite on a quiet river bank, nestled in the ghats of Maharashtra, near Lonavala. "I have always loved Nature," starts Prabha, as she walks me through the scenic view of the mountains and the gurgling river. "Travelling, mountaineering, camping, rappelling and trekking were my passion. I would always take breaks from my hectic work to immerse myself in these things, and would also help a friend in camping and treks. One Sunday, I was waddling on a small raft on this very river, dreaming of a life beneath the blue skies, when the shrill of the phone jolted me awake! It was a client, asking me for a PR plan.
Not just that, I spent the rest of the afternoon, on that very raft, switching from one call to another to put a PR plan in place for a newly launched product," she recollects.Prabha was aghast that she wasn’t doing what she loved most — being in the lap of Nature! "There and then, I asked my friend, Rahool Samel, if he is game to start a campsite venture with me. He agreed. Next, I phoned my husband to ask if I can quit my corporate job and do something that will keep me enthusiastic. He said yes instantly," she beams.The duo soon began scouting for a perfect campsite and things fell into place gradually. The site that now attracts all genre of people, was a shoddy patch of rocks by the river, badly maintained and made dirty by random picnickers and villagers. Prabha and her partner, Rahool, spoke to the owner, took the land on lease, cleaned up the site all on their own and levelled up the place to put up comfortable tents. Today, Camp Expeditions boasts of world class tent with mobile charging points, fabulous terrain, and clean and neat toilets.
