Luxury Camping Guide

Where luxury meets wilderness — the complete guide to glamping in the Himalayas.

What is glamping?

Glamping — glamorous camping — combines the immersive experience of sleeping in nature with the comfort and amenities of a luxury hotel. Think private dome tents with proper beds, hot water, electricity, and mountain views instead of sleeping bags on hard ground.

Uttarakhand, with its dramatic Himalayan landscapes, is India's premier glamping destination. And Auli, at 2,500+ metres, offers some of the most spectacular settings anywhere in the country.

Why Auli is perfect for glamping

  • Altitude & views: Panoramic views of Nanda Devi (7,816 m), Kamet, Mana Parbat, and Dunagiri from your tent
  • Climate: Cool and pleasant even in summer, magical snowfall in winter
  • Accessibility: Plan road access from Joshimath; confirm ropeway operation separately
  • Activities: Skiing, trekking, temple visits, stargazing — all within reach
  • Quiet: Far fewer tourists than Manali or Shimla, yet fully accessible

Glamping at The Glamp Hills Auli

Our property offers two distinct glamping experiences:

Luxury Glamp: A private dome tent with contemporary interiors, a comfortable double bed, en-suite bathroom with hot water, and a private terrace facing the Himalayan range. Perfect for couples and solo travelers seeking intimate mountain immersion.

Presidential Glamp: Our signature dome — larger, more luxurious, with premium furnishings, a spacious lounge area, and the best views on the property. Designed for guests who want an elevated glamping experience without compromise.

Both glamps include free Wi-Fi, power backup, housekeeping, and meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients.

What to pack for glamping in the Himalayas

  • Warm layers (even in summer — evenings drop to single digits)
  • Comfortable walking shoes / trekking boots
  • Sunscreen and sunglasses (UV is strong at altitude)
  • Camera with wide-angle lens for mountain panoramas
  • Personal medications and a basic first-aid kit
  • Power bank for devices (though our glamps have charging points)

Glamping vs traditional camping

Traditional camping in the Himalayas requires equipment, experience, and physical endurance. Glamping removes those barriers while preserving the magic. At The Glamp Hills, you wake to the same sunrise over Nanda Devi, breathe the same mountain air, and hear the same forest sounds — but from a warm bed with a hot shower waiting.

Book your glamping experience

Whether you choose our Luxury Glamp or Presidential Glamp, you'll experience the Himalayas in a way that's both immersive and deeply comfortable. Limited to a handful of tents for exclusivity and privacy.
