About This Stay

The Most Immersive Way to Experience the Novae Sky

The Camping Style Tents are the soul of Novae Glamp. No walls between you and the night. No AC hum drowning out crickets. No indoor ceiling limiting your view when you unzip the door and look straight up. Just canvas, a good mattress and 6,500 stars directly overhead — at the lowest price on the property.

This is the stay for guests who want the real outdoor experience — first-time campers discovering it for the first time, solo travellers who've done this before and know exactly what they want, friend groups who don't need separate rooms and astronomy enthusiasts who care more about what's above them than what they're sleeping in.

And here's the thing that surprises most guests: you get exactly the same stargazing session, the same bonfire, the same guide, the same food and the same morning as every other stay type. The only difference is what you sleep in. At ₹2,299 per person, that's one of the best value propositions at any glamping property in South India.

Why Guests Choose the Camping Tents

🌌 Closest to the Sky

Unzip the tent door at 2 AM and the Milky Way is directly above you. No indoor ceiling, no walls between you and the stars. Astronomy enthusiasts who stay here consistently say this is the most immersive sky-watching experience they've had — including from proper observatories.

🛏 Proper Comfort Bedding

Camping here doesn't mean sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag. Each tent has a proper mattress with clean bedding — you wake up rested, not stiff. It's the camping feel with enough comfort to make the morning worthwhile.

🌬 Natural Ventilation at Night

Novae Glamp's elevation means nights are naturally cooler — the tents ventilate well and most guests find the temperature comfortable without AC from October through March. In peak summer, the hut tents or suite rooms are better suited.

💰 Same Experience, Lowest Price

Every single activity — guided stargazing, bonfire, drum circle, pottery, art workshop, breakfast — is included at ₹2,299/person. The same guide, the same telescope, the same food as the ₹14,999 tepee. The sky doesn't charge extra.

Best Season for Camping Tents

The camping tents are most comfortable from October through February when nights are naturally cool. From March to May they're warm but manageable. Monsoon (June–August) camping is unpredictable — we'll advise at booking based on the forecast. September post-monsoon offers some of the most spectacular clear skies of the year and is highly recommended for the camping tents.

Guest Reviews

★★★★★

"I came solo with my camera specifically to photograph the Milky Way. The camping tent was perfect — unzipped the door at midnight, lay on my mat half-in half-out and shot for two hours straight. Got the best astrophotography of my life. Will absolutely come back for every new moon."

"Six of us took three 2-sharing tents. We were up until 1:30 AM at the bonfire, looked at stars through the telescope, and woke up to a sunrise that none of us will forget. I expected basic — it was anything but. The mattresses were comfortable, the food was genuinely good. At ₹2,299 per person this is ridiculous value."

Camping Tent FAQs

Is there AC in the camping tents?
No — the camping tents rely on natural ventilation and are designed for the outdoor camping experience. This is the right stay for guests who want to be close to nature. If AC is important to you, the Dormitory (₹2,999/person with AC) is the next step up, or the Hut Tents for a mid-range outdoor feel with a fan.
What is the ground situation — do we sleep on the floor?
No. Each guest has a proper mattress raised off the ground on a base platform within the tent — not a sleeping bag on bare ground. Clean bedding and a pillow are provided. You wake up rested, not with a sore back. The camping feel is in the canvas and the sky — not in discomfort.
Can I book multiple camping tents side by side for a group?
Yes — we'll assign tents in adjacent spots for groups booking multiple units. A group of 12 could book three 4-sharing tents, for example, positioned next to each other. Let us know your group breakdown at enquiry and we'll arrange the layout before your arrival.
How are the washrooms at night — is it far to walk?
The shared washroom blocks are positioned within easy walking distance of the camping tent zone — well-lit with solar path lights at night. Hot water is available. They're cleaned multiple times daily and guests consistently mention the cleanliness as a positive surprise in their reviews.
What should I bring for a camping tent stay?
Comfortable clothes for the evening (it gets cooler after midnight), a light jacket or shawl (October–February), any personal toiletries beyond basics, your camera or phone fully charged. Everything else — bedding, towels, meals, activities — is provided. Pack light; the experience is the luggage.
Is this suitable for first-time campers?
Absolutely — this is the most common profile of guest who books the camping tents. The whole experience is guided and supported; you're never on your own figuring things out. Many guests who book the camping tents say it's the first time they've slept outdoors and almost all of them say they'd do it again. The team is always present if anything is needed.
