Bound by Assam in the west, Myanmar in the east, Arunachal Pradesh in the north and Manipur in the south, Nagaland is a picturesque state bursting with rolling hills and verdant rain forests. It is here that Ultimate Travelling Camp has its Kohima Camp; operating from 29 November to 12 December annually. It is designed to coincide perfectly with the annual Hornbill Festival, which provides the only occasion for the 16 distinct Naga tribes to be seen together. With the aim of the festival being to revive and protect the rich culture of Nagaland while displaying its history, culture and traditions, guests are guaranteed an immersive and insightful stay. Come evening, settle down to a spectacular campfire dinner accompanied by Naga singers, or scour the night bazaars for local artifacts and Naga delicacies.

Operating annually between 15 May and 10 October, this camp is positioned in the shadow of the 15th Century Thiksey Monastery within the spectacular snow-capped Himalayas. Eleven luxury suite and three presidential suite tents are discreetly scattered throughout the site, allowing for utmost privacy along with uninterrupted views; sophisticated furnishings, designer linen and specially crafted Ayurvedic cosmetics adorn the tent interiors for a refined and relaxed feel. Yet it is the experiences here that are unparalleled – join monks at Thiksey Monastery for early morning prayers, take guided walks through remote villages, and embrace the thrill of whitewater rafting. Spectacular outdoor campfire dinners are arranged, or enjoy outstanding cuisine on a jetty poised over water.

A four-and-a-half-hour drive through dramatic landscapes from Thiksey lays the Diskit Camp – an oasis of peaceful solitude nestled within the glorious Nubra Valley. Open annually from 15 May to 30 September, the site comprises eight luxury suite tents, each with locally inspired safari style furnishings. A host of unique experiences await – take an adventurous ride on the double hump Bactrian camel on the sand dunes of the Hunder cold desert; attend a distinctive prayer ceremony at the Diskit Monastery – the oldest and largest Buddhist monastery in the Nubra Valley famed for hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama, or simply soak up the serenity of the whispering winds of the dunes.
