Bear Trail · About

Life at Bear Trail

Bear Trail is a curated glamping retreat with just four luxury tents among rolling tea gardens, looking out over a spectacular mountain landscape. It was made for people who want to be close to nature without giving up any comfort, and it offers a rare mix of solitude, scenery and understated indulgence.

Atmosphere

Sunrise to Starlight

Wake to the first sun spilling through the tent and lighting the valley in a golden hue. In the evening, the mountains slowly give way to dusk. Once night settles, the distant villages glitter across the landscape like scattered stars.

Here, nature is not a backdrop—it is the entire rhythm of your day.

Trails and the Monsoon Brook

A short, gentle walk from your tent leads to winding trails and a murmuring brook. In the monsoon, that brook becomes a dramatic, roaring torrent.

Protection & Nature

Wildlife, Safely

As dusk turns to night, you may well see bears and Gaurs moving through the landscape. You can enjoy this rare privilege in complete safety from inside the property, which is protected by solar-powered live fencing.

“Come here when you crave silence. Come when you want to wake to birdsong, wander with nowhere to be, breathe in the scent of the wild, or simply have a moment to yourself.”

Through all of it, Bear Trail lets you experience nature at its purest, with the warmth, comfort and indulgence of a beautifully appointed luxury tent.

Days Shaped by the Mountains

At Bear Trail, time slows down. Some days you will set out to explore, and others you will do nothing at all. Both are beautiful here.
