​Don't miss out on the perfect summer getaway!
​Camp open: April to June


​
At 4500 ft (1364M), an ideal summer getaway from Delhi, the Bull's River Camp at Tons offers something for all ages. We have different combo packages that give you a breathtaking variety of adventures. 

Rafting, camping, trekking, mountain biking and swimming in a fresh water pool - need we say more?! When the heat in the plains begins to get intolerable, an escape to the hills is surely called for! You will be camping in deluxe Swiss tents on green fields along the Tons river that runs just a few yards away. The deluxe camp is situated on the edge of a fresh water stream with a pine forest right behind.  A walk through a thick forest, jumping over tree stumps and crossing cold ice water streams, will deliver you to a clearing with the most divine and exotic fresh water pool, fed by a series of waterfalls. Dive in. No swimming pool in the world could ever give you the joy this one will! 

Bull’s Retreat is an 18-room forest resort situated on the main Rishikesh-Badrinath highway. When you arrive at Bull's Retreat, the wide open spaces, the lush green grass, and the exotic flowers just take your breath away! Pink Bougainvillea line the edge of the resort, shutting the world out. Our architects built around all the trees on the property, so many of them are well over 100 years old.

You can start you trip from any of the two properties - it would really depend on your mode of transport.

If you're planning to fly or catch the overnight train, then we recommend you start your trip from Bull's River Camp at Tons. Set right in the middle of the Tons valley, with pine forests all around, this is truly one of our most coveted camp sites and all the more precious because it is open for only three months in the year - from April till the last week of June.

​By Train:
The best way to get here would be to catch the overnight train from New Delhi. The Dehradun Railway Station is the closest rail-head at about 175 KM . On request, we can arrange for your pick-up from the Dehradun railway station and drive you straight to the Bull's River Camp. You should be there in around 6 hours. 

Closest Airport
The Jolly Grant airport near Dehradun is the closest at a distance of 200 KM with a drive time of around 6 Hrs: 30 Min. Be sure to land in by noon, so you have enough time to safely reach the campsite before sunset. 

If you wish to make it by road:
  • Overnight Volvo buses to Dehradun leave from Delhi on an hourly basis. Just let us know and we can arrange to have you picked up at the bus stop and driven to the Tons Camp.
  • If you're feeling adventurous and want to drive your own car from Delhi straight to the Tons Camp, then it should take you around 13 hours (405 KM). The route is: Delhi - Dehradun (248 KM) and then Dehradun - Vikas Nagar - Yamuna Bridge – Nainbagh - Purola - Mori (183 KM) – Bull's River Camp at Tons (3 KM).

Once you've had you fill of the Tons Valley, you can drive straight to Bull's Retreat. It's a 220 km drive and should take you around 7 - 8 hours.

Honestly, if you plan to drive your car all the way from Delhi, then the 13-hour drive can be long and arduous - especially if you have kids in the car. So if you plan to drive all the way, we recommend you start your trip from Bull's Retreat, nestled amidst a lush forest and landscaped gardens on the Badrinath yatra route. Perfectly located, far from the madding crowds of Rishikesh (14 KM and just a 30 minute drive away) and yet close enough to visit all the tourist places close by. Way to get there:

By Road:
  • If you plan to drive your own car from Delhi, it should take you around six to seven hours (250 KM).
  • Overnight buses leave from Delhi on an hourly basis. Call us and we'll arrange to get you picked up. 
By Air:
The Jolly Grant airport is the closest at a distance of 31 KM with a drive time of around 1 hour. There are direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi now  and we will arrange for your pick-up on request. It's a one hour drive from the airport to Bull's Retreat.

By Train:
Haridwar station is the closest rail-head at about 42 KM with a drive time of about 90 minutes.

After a few days stay at Bull's Retreat (once you're done with rafting, day hikes, ropes courses et al), head to Bull's River Camp Tons - a 220 km drive that will take around 7 - 8 hours.

Whichever way you look at it - this is going to be one heck of an adventurous holiday!!
