Camp Highlights

MHE is one of the few companies to offer accommodation in two exclusive locations at Shivpuri. The MHE Jungle Camp, which is located in a forest along the road to Devprayag and the MHE Beach Camp which is an exclusive location across the river.

MHE Beach Camp

The MHE beach camp is located on a silver sand beach on the banks of the Holy Ganges nestled in the midst of the virgin forests on the Great Himalayan foothills. It is situated on the far side of the river offering an access only by boat. With the river on one side and protected forest on the other, the four acre complex provides an unspoiled, exclusive and pure atmosphere to visitors.

The camp provides accommodation in 35 luxury tents with attached verandahs. Complete care has been taken to ensure that the camp conforms to the strictest environmental guidelines and practices. Even though there are no permanent structures at the site, our team of highly experienced guides, cooks, Sherpas and management have spared no efforts to make the it a very comfortable and fun place to be. Our faculty boasts of competent members looking after adventure activities, naturopathy, astronomy, yoga, bird watching and wild life.

  Our own manufacturing unit has specially designed the tents. The sleeping area is approx. 100 sq. feet with a canopy in front providing a 5 X 5 feet verandah and a small attached changing area at the rear. All tents are provided with twin beds with crisp linen, two easy chairs in front and the inside furnishings like a bedside table and a clothes.
  MHE tents are the only ones that offer attached ground sheets to protect sand and insects from entering the tent.

  In accordance with strict environmental guidelines which we practice, we have designed special dry pit WCs with a “Sand Flush” system. This is a clean hygienic and environmentally safe system. Our shower tents offer hot and cold running showers, however while at camp you will probably prefer body surfing in the Ganga to cleanse your soul too.
