Visited the camp with family and friends. This was my first outing in over 7 months. This was an ideal weekend getaway to recharge the batteries after being in a prolonged lockdown environment.
Drive: Visited the place from my parent's home in Pune. The 3 hour drive was excellent with a mixture of flat roads and ghat areas.
Surroundings: The camp is located about 1.5 kms off the main road. The only other people you can expect to encounter at the camp are the other guests and staff present at the camp. The camp site seems far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is situated at the base of a hill with plenty of greenery all around. The foliage is lush green during the monsoon season. There is a lake and waterfall that is 10 minute walk from the cottages.
Accomodation: Stayed in a spacious cottage with 2 friends. The facilities provided in the room were top notch. There is an option to choose between an AC/Non AC room depending upon the season.
Food & Beverages: The in-house catering services are delicious with the menu satiating all taste buds.
Facilities: Plenty of adventure activities to undertake like trekking, river crossing, kayaking, airsoft rifle shooting and ziplining. There is also a ground next to the camp where guests can choose to indulge themselves in sports like volleyball, cricket or football.
Verdict: Travel in a group or go solo, the surroundings of the camp and the hospitality of the staff will give you an unforgettable experience that you will definitely cherish!

It was certainly a much needed break after a hectic pandemic , WFH...To have such an outbound with team building activities planned by empower activity camp was mind-blowing. A scenic beauty with flora and fauna on all its surrounding an earthy atmosphere is the key attractions. Cottages were well maintained, no doubt on hygiene and cleanliness maintained by the staff. Food was great, hot water supply to the rooms also were available on demand. Friendly and helpful staffs. Mr Pratap, the Manager is a very active and supportive person. Nonetheless thanks to Ms Bhavna for organising such an awestruck outbound for us w/o any flaws.

The resort landscape was beautiful . The air vented tent is sufficient for family of three . Near by trekking and other outdoor activities were well coordinated by the staff. The staff were very much friendly . Due to rain ,solar heater was not functional and need to depend on staff for getting hot water (still they provided all day time hot water supply ). River rafting in Kundalika River was the main attraction and not to be missed

Visit to empower camp Was rather unique. It wasn’t a stereotype visit to any other resort. It was a combination of structured activities which had a taste of adventure and lots of fun. The property has a scenic and widespread location with a backdrop of mountains. Stay was very comfortable in the cottages. Food was delicious and hygienic. Highly recommended for children who can enjoy nature and fun activities and a break from gadgets and media. Area is clean and managed by well disciplined ex armed forces personnel.

My child had been for the camp, she had a wonderful and adventurous experience. However, food was not so good or tasteful, fruits and milk was not provided regularly. They don't have a team for photography so parents back at home miss out on their children activities.
There are many such activity centres available in the market, the others also have ex-army officers. Their competitors do send personalised photos of activity of all children, opt for one with secured environment, good food and photo memories to be taken back.

This place had the best hospitality I've experienced in a long time. The entire staff was always proactive and ready to help. The food was amazing very homely food which my entire team looked forward to after a long tiring day. Highly recommend trying their fruit custard. There wasn't a single instance where my team felt dehydrated from the summer heat as the camp made sure we would always have nimbu paani or kokam juice at all times. The accommodation was simple and comfortable. They have beautiful cottages and tents. The parts of the campus we had a chance to explore were gorgeous, surrounded by hills and forest. The big banyan tree was the center of all the beauty where we had most of our uplifting sessions.

We had been to empower activity camp with three family friends. We found the property to be very huge and awesome. The scenic beauty of the forest was complimented by the lake adjacent to the property. The staff were ex military officers and very humble. We enjoyed many activities like Burma bridge, Air gun shooting, Zip liner Etc. However the most amazing activity was swimming in the lake with life jackets. Rooms were upto the mark to relieve once tiredness. Food was okay.

This was my 3rd visit to this camp and must say that it's an amazing experience every time. It's recommended for family gatherings with nature all around. Poor mobile connectivity here adds to the Detox n makes the experience a relaxing one. Lovely surroundings, clean n hygienic rooms, homely food, plenty of activities around. In jan'21 we also did 'River-rafting' on the new year day. Have spent last 2 new yr eve at this camp and it's strongly recommended for those not wanting any crowd around or a noisy evening. Its quiet surroundings n excellent experience even on for a New Yr Celebration in a group.

I went to Empower Camp after many years, with a large group of 46 employees for a company offsite. I was very happy to find that the experience was as good as it had been earlier. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. The new tents are even more comfortable. The food was tasty and healthy, no excess oil. The activities were well planned and fun. Love the way they have planted trees everywhere, kept the place so clean, have an SOP for everything. The overall warmth and hospitality was wonderful. A big thank you to Bhavna, Col. Naval Kohli, Col. Bharat, Pratap, Surender and all those who made our stay and awesome experience.
