If you ever want to know what true contentment feels like, try camping out in the woods for a night. When you lie down close to the bon fire and look up at the brilliant night sky, you can’t help but feel awe. The glory of this vast and mysterious universe makes you realize how insignificant you are. Gradually, this feeling of insignificance turns into a moment of self-discovery.  Adventure lovers secretly crave for such moments. So they try to enjoy the camping experience no matter where they go.

Tent camping is certainly a thrilling opportunity to experience life back when it was simple. The night gets even better when gossip and chatter with friends turn into deep conversations. And when that’s followed by a game of truth-or-dare, the experience reaches a whole new level. But you also need at least some sleep after that exhaustive trek. The cosy tent promises you good sleep. But whether you’ll really get good sleep depends on that one friend who you know is a snoring beast.

Many wouldn’t know this but the state of Kerala offers plenty of ideal sites for tent camping. The picturesque mountain views, the misty weather and the exquisite delicacies of the state are great additions to the camping experience. Have a look at some of the best camping sites in Munnar, a famous hill station in Kerala.
