A weekend at Pawna Lake does not have to stay at the camp. These places are close to our campsite, with distances as shown on our home page. Check-out is at 11:00 AM (11:30 AM at Chillout Pawana), so Sunday is a good day for a fort or cave visit.

The lake itself is where the camp is based. Evenings by the water, sunsets and calm views are the main attraction.

Tips for your trip

- Wear comfortable shoes with a good grip. Paths can be slippery in the monsoon.
- Carry water, a torch and your personal medicines.
- Check the weather before you go and keep a rain cover in the monsoon.
