गणितासारख्या एका अर्थाने रुक्ष असलेल्या विषयामध्ये पी एच डी घेतलेल्या डॉ, प्रा. स्मिता कांदेकरांकडे निसर्गाकडे पाहण्याचा खुपच हळवा व मधुर दृष्टीकोण आहे. पती पत्नी दोघेही सहकुटूंब निसर्गशाळेत या वर्षी पुन्हा आले. दोन दिवस त्यांच्याशी भरभरुन गप्पा झाल्या. सरतेशेवटी त्यांच्याशी झालेल्या या गप्पा चित्रित करता आल्या. यांच्यासारख्या संवेदन शील लोकांकडे पाहुन आम्हाला देखील उभारी येत असते. निसर्गशाळा व एकुणच निसर्ग याविषयी यांचे विचार ऐकण्यासारखे आहेत.

What our guests SAY !!!

Amit
Wonderful camping experience with Nisargshala last week. We were a group of 11 people and absolutely loved staying at camping site. Everything was well organized and thoroughly planned. We enjoyed BBQ, campfire, star gazing (clearest of skies I have ever seen), small telescope and astrophysics knowledge sharing session by Hemant Vavale and his incredible team. Tents were spacious and it was mesmerizing to be so close to nature. Also rappelling activity was conducted very professionally well. Will surely recommend Nisargshala to everyone keen in going closer to nature. Will try to visit camp again in May next year. Also all this was managed at very nominal and genuine price. It was totally worth it. Keep up the good work team!

Sharvari
Highly recommend this place for people who are interested in real camping(do not expect leisure camping here). Wonderful experience at nisargshala. Hemant and Yashdeep were very polite, patient, and knowledgeable hosts. Food and barbecue was tasty. All the activities were also nice like stargazing, moon watching, sound map games, trekking and rappelling. My 9yr old daughter did rappelling. Totally unexpected. Thanks to Yashdeep. Would like to go again with group of friends.
In short, you can go camping at nisargshala in any season, throughout the year. We help you have the best ever experience of camping with activities like trekking,rappelling,nature connect, stargazing, monsoon rides, waterfall rappelling etc.

Great place for stargazing.. They have got two telescopes. Tents arrangement was also very goodPosted on Mandar JoshiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s fantastic place to spend time. Under the beautiful sky , starry night, cold breeze and excellent narration by gracious host Hemant. I visited this twice for Milkyway photography, star trail and star gazing. Highly recommended for family outing.Posted on Vaibhav DugarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing place for star gazing. Hemant and team deserve many Pats on the back for the way they organized over 120 people to view the plants during the weekend of the 25th & 26th January 2025. They have standard tents and the place can get really cold esp during winters. The sleeping bags they provide are not adequate for cold so if you are travelling over the cold season, do carry additional clothes or a blanket to keep yourself warm. They provide good food and the location is a fine place to view the stars.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust. Only the greatest companies can get the verified badge who has a review score above 4.5, based on customer reviews over the past 12 months. Read more
