Glamping, also known as luxury camping or glamorous camping, allows guests to commune with nature in comfort and style without the hassle (and dangers) of traditional camping. Five-star amenities just steps from the outdoors, glamping brings you closer to untamed and exclusive parts of the world - without having to sacrifice the pampering and relaxation you want from your trip.
Here’s everything you need to know before booking a luxury glamping experience in India.
Glamping is more than a nice tent
Forget about blowing up the air mattress and surviving the elements, glamping accommodations are closer to a luxury resort than the KOA. Comfortable beds with luxury linens, exquisite decor, and spa-inspired bathrooms, you’ll forget you are camping...until you open the door and step right out into nature.
Unique architecture, stunning views
What makes glamping so exciting is that the structure you sleep in is as unique as where you are visiting. You can stay in a yurt among breathtakingly beautiful Aravalli Mountain Range near Jaipur. Escape from the world in tented luxury cabins with your own private veranda overlooking the Himalayas in Ladakh. Nap among the forest canopy in the jungles of Central India. Relax in canvas tents on the stunning beaches of Goa. Get pampered in luxury tented suites on a private estate of indigenous desert scrub. Get romantic in mud cottages (or Kutiyas) with private courtyards or in charming bungalows with rooftop machans (daybeds) at the edge of a “tiger forest.”
Cozy, Comfortable, and full of Character
Not only will you enjoy most of the creature comforts of a full-service hotel, but you’ll do so in a place filled with bundles of charm and loads of personality. From design layout to building material to custom decor, each glamping site offers a unique experience designed to showcase the surrounding area while honoring the history and character of the region. Many sites include butler service, spa treatments, naturalists or other area experts, authentic local cuisine, and five-star service.
Every campsite has a story
As unique as its surroundings, each campsite has a background as interesting and inspiring as the region it resides in. Because the focus of the camp is to blend into the natural settings, great care has been taken to use materials and design that support the natural environment. This means your luxurious stay is also eco-friendly with a staff committed to protecting the integrity of the area.
Trade the hustle of the city for an intimate experience with nature
For many travelers, glamping is the destination, not just the accommodation. Escape the noise of India’s largest cities for the peace and tranquility of nature where time stops and hearts expand. Fresh air and breathtaking views replace traffic jams and packed itineraries. Lazily plan your day with tours of area attractions, visits to local merchants, adventures in the wild, or do absolutely nothing at all. Whatever you choose, you’ll be right in the middle of the action when you step outside your tent.
Authentic Indian cuisine from world-renowned chefs
A trip to India wouldn’t be complete without indulging in mouth-watering dishes and dream-worthy desserts. Not only will you receive 5-star service from the staff, but you’ll find culinary stars in the kitchens preparing family recipes with local ingredients.
Access to endless adventures
When you sleep in nature, you are always just feet away from a memorable adventure, especially when your sleeping quarters is literally in the middle of a jungle, atop the canopy of a forest, at the edge of the ocean, or on a sand dune. Most glamping sites also offer a variety of activities to keep you entertained, from cooking lessons to yoga sessions and nature walks to art classes, plus on-site amenities like swimming pools, spas, fitness centers, and libraries provide unlimited things to do.

Glamping in India means the only “roughing it” you’ll be doing is having to decide whether to take a nap on your private patio, relax with a pampering massage, enjoy a picnic lunch made just for you, or go on an excursion into town. When you glamp, you can expect breathtaking views while you relax in comfortable beds, take luxurious baths, or even escape to your own private beach or pool.
If you are looking for a truly immersive, eco-friendly travel experience, give glamping a try. You’ll be surprised how elevated camping can be.
