1 Night / 2 Days
No limit (private booking available)
Easy — no water activities required
Year-round
Pure camping on the Ganga's bank in Shivpuri — no rapids, no schedule, no pressure. The Camping without Rafting package is exactly what the name says: a night by the river with all meals included, a natural waterfall-fed swimming pool, evening bonfire and music, and a morning of complete freedom before checkout. It's available year-round, which makes it the only Sea Hawk Adventures package you can book in July and August when the river is in monsoon flood and rafting is closed.
The camp sits 200 metres from the Ganga with 20–25 tents and cottages, all with attached washrooms, 24-hour electricity, charging points, and coolers. The natural swimming pool is fed by Laddu Waterfall, which drops from the forested hillside directly behind the camp — it's cold, clear, and approximately 4–5 feet deep, and it's where most guests spend their afternoon. The waterfall itself is 10 minutes on foot through a short forest path.
The camp environment has a specific quality that's difficult to describe and easy to experience: it's quiet in the way that rivers are quiet, which is not actually silent — there's constant water sound — but profoundly restful in a way that cities and even most hill stations are not. Guests regularly arrive with phones and laptops and find, within an hour of arrival, that they've put them away and aren't thinking about them.
Check-in is at 3:00 PM. The afternoon is unscheduled: river bank, pool, rope course, badminton, local shops (20 metres from the entrance), or the path to the waterfall. Evening snacks and tea at 6:30 PM, bonfire at 7:30 PM (November to February), dinner at 8:30 PM. Breakfast in the morning, then free time until 12:00 PM checkout.
If you decide on the day that you want to go rafting, the 16 km run can be added for ₹999 per person — subject to guide availability. Mention at booking for guaranteed scheduling on Day 2. This package works as a standalone weekend break and as the non-rafting alternative for travel companions who prefer the camp while the rest of the group is on the river.
You can add the 16 km rafting run (Shivpuri to NIM Beach) on Day 2 morning for ₹999 per person. Mention at booking and we'll include it in the schedule.
This package runs year-round, including during the monsoon months when rafting is closed. Monsoon camping (July–September) is particularly beautiful — lush green forests, cooler temperatures, and a full-volume Ganga. Weather-appropriate tents provided.
Single-occupancy tents available on request (small supplement applies). Solo travellers are paired with others in common areas — the camp is a social space.
A change of clothes for the evening, a light jacket (Shivpuri evenings are cool year-round), sunscreen, and a water bottle. Towels are provided at the camp.
