Experience Camping!!
Camping is the new age millennium thing which involves spending some time outside of the regular mundane life in nature. It involves spending one night in camps with all the modern facilities like washrooms, beds and food facility provided to the tourists which makes it more comfortable.
There is no clear definition of camping. Fundamentally, it reflects a combination of intent and the nature of activities involved.
The history of recreational camping is often traced back to Thomas Hiram Holding, a British travelling tailor, but it was actually first popularised in the UK on the river Thames. By the 1880s large numbers of visitors took part in the pastime, which was connected to the late Victorian craze for pleasure boating.
