Description

The great outdoors have always fascinated Neelkanth Bhide, the founder of Surya Shibir. An electrical engineer by profession, Shri Bhide - who is fondly called Anna - has a deep-rooted liking for nature. Concerned about the effects of the stressful city life on children's health, he took the initiative and started the camp site in 1997. For thirteen years w, Surya Shibir has been the favourite destination for children's camps. It is a safe and well-maintained place where children learn about the importance of nature conservation. They also get an opportunity to play, explore the wilderness and indulge in adventure activities. Though Surya Shibir opened its gates originally as a nature camp for children, today it has developed into a sprawling Resort with superb amenities. Apart from being the premier camp site near Pune, it is also a popular getaway for families and an emerging venue for corporate events. Surya Shibir is an eco-friendly resort nestled deeply in the Sahyadri Valley, just 50 km from Pune. It offers a breathtaking parama of the Varasgaon Dam backwaters and rolling green hills. .
