Mystery Camping.
By Aishwarya Iyengar
We stumbled upon this mystery camping thing which was just a one-night getaway, you all know how I get really excited to go outdoors!
Once everyone was convinced, we decided to finally go to the camp, which was a drive of 2.5 hour from the main city of Bangalore.
The best part is we still didn’t really know where we were going until we started the drive!
Since, it was an open-air camping and it was in September, which was not hot but on the cooler side in Bangalore, we geared up for some basic jackets.
We rented tents, a barbecue grill, coal, and some basics for camping. It was pretty exciting to prepare for camping in that manner.
We reached just before it was about to get dark. The campsite was so beautifully decorated, and I think we missed the treasure hunt, while hunting for our food like cavemen.
The first thing you all need to keep in mind is that you always need to pitch your tents before it’s way too dark.
It was a fun bring-your-beer-and-chill kind of a place. Then dinner was served, some very yummy biryani and sweets and loads more.
Then started the best part of the evening. The campfire and music under the stars! It was a private party like the ones you see in Hollywood movies and you always dreamed if you could be a part of one.
We sat around and chilled and shared ghost encounter stories until 4 am and then finally when we realised we had to get up with the sunrise, we slowly retreated into our tents.
Even though we slept so late like in the morning, we did manage to get up to the sun-rays falling directly on our eyes.
This was truly a one of a kind experience and I can't wait to do this more often.
Stay tuned for more stories on adventure and experiences.
