After a harrowing BEST ride, a jam-packed train journey and a bumpy rickshaw ride to reach the campsite, we were more than happy to leave the city behind for the languid, rural haven of Karnala. As we made our way uphill to the site, fields of green surrounded us. The smell of damp earth filled the air, thanks to a mild drizzle. Even as we entered the campsite, our city sensibilities kicked in and we worried about the ‘facilities’ — Would we be safe from wild animals? Would there be filtered water? Would there be clean toilets? This is where Big Red Tent came in.
