Evolve Back: Where Families Reconnect with Nature
Premium mindful camping in the Sahyadri foothills. No itinerary. Just presence, family, and wild beauty.
Learn MoreWhy Families from Pune & Mumbai Choose Evolve Back
Not every family camp teaches itineraries. Evolve Back doesn't either.
We teach something rarer: how to be present, how silence sounds in the morning, how a child's laughter echoes differently under open sky, how strangers become family around a fire.
Over the past five years, hundreds of families have returned to Nisargshala's Velhe retreat. Some come once. Many come back. They don't come for activities. They come for the feeling — the reset you can't find in Pune, the calm your kids rediscover in Mumbai's rush.
What they leave with: deeper connections, recharged spirits, and proof that family doesn't need Wi-Fi to thrive.
Presence Over Itinerary
Kids don't remember every activity — they remember how you felt with them. Evolve Back strips away schedules so families can breathe together.
Forest as Teacher
Nature doesn't perform. It just is. Your family learns more from one sunset than a hundred screens could teach.
The Reset Button
Two days away from Pune's pace or Mumbai's noise rewires how your nervous system responds. You leave calmer. Kids sleep deeper.
A Community, Not a Camp
You're not paying for an itinerary. You're joining a movement of families who believe nature raises better kids.
A Different Kind of Family Camp
Let's be honest: Most family camps fill every minute. Rope courses by 10 AM. Group games by noon. Evening programs by sunset. Kids are entertained. Parents are exhausted. Everyone returns busier than they left.
Evolve Back is built differently.
Here, there is no "activity schedule" you need to keep up with. Instead:
- Morning walks where kids discover bird calls and your family walks in silence (the good kind).
- Afternoon freedom — spread a blanket, read, climb rocks, sketch, jump in streams. Whatever you want.
- Sunset rituals — shared fires, storytelling, simple presence.
- Night skies — because Velhe sits far enough from city lights that stars feel like a conversation.
We ask one question: What does your family actually need? Not what looks good on Instagram. What your heart needed when you booked this trip.
Location: Nisargshala, Velhe – Gateway to the Sahyadri
From Pune: 45 minutes up the Velhe ghat road. Close enough for a weekend. Far enough to feel like another world.
From Mumbai: 2.5 hours toward the Western Ghats. A route that feels like leaving behind the sprawl.
Why Velhe?
The Sahyadri foothills here are steep, green, and old. Your family will feel small in the best way. The air changes within 20 minutes of arriving — cooler, cleaner, alive. Kids notice it. So do parents.
Nisargshala's Velhe property sits in the lap of this landscape — not on top of it, not exploiting it, but part of it. The view is the same one families have watched for generations: stars, silence, stories.
Meet Vikram: The Heart of Evolve Back
Vikram is a nature guide who helps families slow down and reconnect with the natural world. His camps encourage a gentle digital detox, allowing children and adults to step away from screens and spend meaningful time in nature.
The Foundation: Nature as Teacher
Through shared experiences such as nature walks, bird watching, and close observation of plants, insects, and landscapes, families learn about biodiversity and the interconnection of all living things. Every moment in the forest becomes a lesson, every creature a teacher.
A Way of Being
The camps focus on simple living, spending time outdoors, mindful meals, and appreciating everyday natural rhythms. Nothing is rushed, nothing is forced. Vikram creates space for families to move at their own pace, learning to observe, listen, and be present.
Mindfulness Without Pressure
Vikram introduces mindfulness in a natural and easy way, helping participants become calmer, more aware, and present in the moment. It is the calm that emerges when you truly pay attention to a bird's song, the texture of bark, or the warmth of sunlight.
Why Families Trust Vikram
With his warm and steady presence, he creates a safe and welcoming space for families to relax, learn, and reconnect — with nature and with each other. Parents return because they see their kids laugh differently here, they see themselves breathe easier, and they feel, often for the first time in months, that someone is holding space for their family's needs.
