What are the Tents like?
All our tents are of the same scale and quality and rest on a solid Iron structure which is hammered into the concrete at 16 points. The tents have 3 layers. The outer layer is a 400 GSM PVC material to shield off water, dust and extreme sunlight. The triangular design makes these tents reduce drag and hence wind resistance. The second inner layer is made of water repellent material, it is porous so that air can pass through and does not make you feel suffocated while protecting it from insects, bugs and reptiles from creeping in. The third layer is meant to enhance the aesthetics for a cosy stay. They have been designed by the founder who is an alpine and Himalayan mountaineer himself!
