Riverside campsite near Manali offering stays in Swiss tents and domes with bonfires, music, and views of the Himalayas.
Discover what makes this destination truly special

Highlander Camp is a campsite located a short distance from the main town of Manali, often situated by the Beas River or with clear views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. The site provides an outdoor accommodation experience focused on connecting with nature. Accommodation typically consists of Swiss tents or geodesic domes, which are equipped with basic amenities like beds, blankets, and often have an attached washroom with running water. The atmosphere is relaxed and communal, centered around a common dining area and a bonfire pit. In the evenings, guests gather around the bonfire for music, shared stories, and stargazing under clear mountain skies. The experience is less about luxury and more about being in a natural setting. During the day, the camp serves as a base for short hikes, river activities, or simply relaxing and enjoying the mountain scenery. It's a good alternative to a standard hotel for those looking to spend more time outdoors.
