Sunshine Himalayan Camp- Tirthan Valley - Tirthan Valley

Great place to stay and very nice people who are managing it. A must stay place in Tirthan Valley

The first time I visited Tirthan valley was in March 2016 for a trek to rangthar, followed by another trek to Rolla...and since the first time have visited 5 times in the past 15 months....Do I need to say more? Well I don't if I wish to give a 5 star rating... But I do need to write more as I wish to give not 5 but 6 stars.... 5 ofcourse for the incomparable, raw natural beauty....the sparkling, effervescent waters of the river Tirthan, the breath taking views of snow clad Himalayas, the walks & treks to and through the pristine Great Himalayan National Park and the total absence of commercialization with only homestays and home run guesthouses for accommodation. But that additional sixth star and perhaps the most important one which has got us back again and again and again is for the way you are made to feel at home in this paradise by the outstanding team of sunshine adventures. The promoters of sunshine - Panki and Ankit...both brothers... Who beyond holding a long list of achievements and contributions in the field of mountaineering and ecotourism are extremely warm individuals giving personal attention to every guest who visits their home..the valley. And this same warmth passes on to their team who takes care of the guests like no other even on treks, during worst of weather with the limited resources they carry along. I would always remember that time when it was raining hailstones during our rangthar trek and we were confined to our tents and someone called from outside....madam tent kholo chai aur pakode banaaye Hai!!!That truly floored us!! And the best part is this wasn't a one time affair...coz have experienced the same across my 5 visits. Panki and Ankit....you truly are Sunshine brothers for the way you and your team spreads sunshine in lives of all who visit your valley! Thanks a ton! All the best....and I am sure I will be back soon!! So although there isn't an option to give here....here come my 6 stars!!

There is a lot to say but I will try to confine myself in few words. My journey to Great Himalayan National Park(UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE) was an experience of a lifetime. It was a spiritual journey carried out physically through rappelling, river crossing and trekking to Shilt peak (10000 feet). Personally, in last 1 - 1.5kms of trekking, it felt like a test of physical strength, endurance, stamina and mental calmness. I was able to explore myself and discover new horizons. We camped at Rolla camp, danced around Bonfire and able to connect with nature. The beauty of the landscape was mesmerizing. Moreover, I had firsthand experience of SHGs who prepared local cuisine such as DHAAM and SIDDU for us. I was lucky enough to meet Mr Panki Sood (featured in National Geographic Magazine, adventures, mountaineer, writer, nature photographer, Ecotourism company owner and above all a wonderful person) and Mr Ankit Sood (Phd., working on project sponsored by ADB to promote ecotourism and much more) and Sunshine Himalayan Adventures.... and others who made this trip as a memorable experience. ..... I feel like going again.....

The places is still virgin which makes it serene and peaceful. I want to keep it a secret from others but the words has to be said for its beauty. One of the best kept secret of Himalayas.

It is a cozy place in the lap of Himalaya and The Great Himalaya National Park. The Staff here are from the local community and this organisation is the best example of Community participation. It is a lush green complex with museum in it showcasing different artifact.

This beautiful Campsite has everything you want for a pristine holiday in nature....the calmness of the Tirthan river flowing, the adventure & thrill of river-crossing , rainbow & brown trout fishing, radiant evenings with bonfire and what have you. Managed by one of the first ecotourism companies of the valley the camp boasts of exotic resident bird life , open spaces , organic food and comfortable stay. Act Local ...Think Global is the motto !

Excellent hospitality, amazing views, great food. What else can you ask for? I had a fabulous stay over here The photo that I am posting was taken about half an hour walk from the cottage.

Excellent rooms and service
