Growing Up in Garhwal
Spent childhood and early years exploring Himalayan trails, learning local culture, and developing a lifelong bond with Uttarakhand's rivers and forests.
Meet the Founder
Born from a deep love of the Garhwal Himalayas, Mayank built Chaukhamba View Camps as a riverside retreat where travelers feel genuinely welcomed — not just checked in.
Camp Visionary
Biography
Mayank Sindhwal grew up surrounded by the peaks, meadows, and river valleys of Uttarakhand. Long before Chaukhamba View Camps existed, he spent years guiding treks, hosting travelers, and learning what people truly need after a long day on the trail — warmth, honest food, clean comfort, and a place that feels like home.
What began as conversations around campfires and shared meals along the Ganga slowly became a vision: a family-run camp where every guest is treated like family. Today, that vision lives in every tent pitched, every meal served, and every sunrise watched from the riverside deck.
Known to guests as a friendly, hands-on host, Mayank works closely with his team — including local cooks and guides — to ensure each stay is personal, grounded, and deeply connected to the landscape around Chopta and the greater Himalayan region.
The Journey
Spent childhood and early years exploring Himalayan trails, learning local culture, and developing a lifelong bond with Uttarakhand's rivers and forests.
Guided groups through Chopta, Tungnath, and surrounding valleys — building relationships with travelers and understanding what makes a stay memorable.
Founded a riverside camp that blends wilderness with comfort — cozy tents, Garhwali hospitality, and views of the Chaukhamba massif.
Leads a dedicated team offering trekking support, rafting connections, campfire evenings, and stays tailored for families, friends, and solo adventurers.

Philosophy
The mountains do not rush — and neither should our guests. Every stay should leave you rested, inspired, and connected to this place.
For Mayank, hospitality is not a service — it is a responsibility. He believes travelers deserve transparency, local knowledge, and stays that respect both the environment and the communities nearby.
Whether you are here for trekking, rafting, a family holiday, or simply to breathe fresh mountain air, the goal is the same: help you experience Uttarakhand authentically, comfortably, and at your own pace.
