About Shivaay Camp – Your Himalayan Sanctuary
(Guptkashi, Uttarakhand)
Our Story: Where Spirituality Meets Nature
Nestled in the serene foothills of the Himalayas, Shivaay Camp was born in 2010 from a pilgrim’s dream. Founded by NItin Shukla, a third-generation Garhwali guide, our camp began as a humble homestay for weary Kedarnath pilgrims. Over the years, it has blossomed into Guptkashi’s most trusted retreat, hosting over 5,000 travelers annually.
Driven by a passion to bridge spirituality and nature, we’ve crafted a space where the sacred energy of Kedarnath Dham merges with the untouched beauty of Uttarakhand. Whether you’re a pilgrim seeking solace or a traveler chasing mountain vistas, Shivaay Camp is your home away from home.
