Booked: Camping in Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand

If it wasn't for Thrillophilia, I wouldn't have found this place because it is highly offbeat. Feels like I discovered gold, spent two awesome days here.

One of the most fun trips I have ever been on. We tried out a lot of really exciting activities, like archery, which was new to me. Kudos to the Thrillophilia team, and our guide, Dilip.
