Karnala

The information in this post might be outdated
Home to the famous Karnala Bird Sanctuary, and the eponymous, historic fort, aka Funnel Hill. We like Big Red Tent’s Karnala campsite, which is just a 2-hour drive from Pune. Their overnight package includes a crash course in pitching your own tent, an evening trek, BBQ dinner, and ice-cream or smores by the campfire on your first night. The next day, you can choose to go on a guided trek at the bird sanctuary, or (for more experienced adventurers), trek your way up Karnala Fort. Star-gaze, rent your own BBQ {at extra cost}, ask the crew for a football or cricket bats and enjoy your time here. The campsite also features a sprawling lawn {with sprinklers to cool off under after your trek}, and western-style toilets with running water. For more details, check out their website.
