Imagine waking up to the sound of a flowing stream, the first light of sunrise brushing the snow peaks, and a hot cup of chai in your hands. Now imagine doing all this for less than what you pay monthly for Netflix.
Welcome to Pulga, a hidden gem tucked deep in Himachal Pradesh. Here, basic tent stays start at just ₹300 a night. That’s right, for less than the cost of your coffee run, you get a front row seat to the Himalayas. This is not a five star resort. It’s five billion star camping under the clearest skies.
Pulga sits beyond the famous Parvati Valley circuit. It's peaceful, surrounded by deodar forests and apple orchards, and almost untouched by tourist chaos. You can hike to nearby fairy forests, sip on local herbal teas, or spend the evening by a bonfire with other travellers who somehow always turn into friends. The place is perfect for those who want to disconnect from screens and reconnect with silence.
Most campsites offer local food, clean bathrooms, and cozy tents. No frills, just nature, warmth, and wonder. And while you may not have Wi Fi, you’ll have stories, stillness, and stars.
So skip the couch this weekend. Book a ticket to Bhuntar, take a bus to Barshaini, and hike up to Pulga. It will cost you less than your binge watch budget but give you memories you’ll replay forever.
