Ankit Gupta, founder of Rishikesh-based Camp Brook, says, “Social media has made the trend of camp weddings quite popular. Earlier, where we used to get one call for a wedding in a week or month, today we get two clients calling for wedding every day.”

'This is also an advantage for the campers because in summers the camps in the hilly areas used to be full of tourists, but in winters the work used to reduce. But because of this new trend of destination weddings, now the campers are getting a lot of work even in winters.'

The next day after breakfast in the morning, there is a wedding ceremony in the afternoon. Then check out happens the next day.'

Ankit Gupta says, 'Camp wedding is a new concept and at present many camps are not ready to organize events like weddings. They do not have such basic facilities. Nowadays camps are being made very modern for weddings.'

In these, camp like AC rooms, space for haldi and mandap decoration is being made. Some people are taking 3 nights 2 days package for the wedding, while some people are taking 4 nights package and arranging many types of adventure activities for the guests during the wedding.

Why are people liking destination weddings?

A big reason behind having a destination wedding is that the scenery and view of the place where the wedding is taking place should be beautiful. For example, if we talk about the venues of Rajasthan, people like the royal look and the concept of having a royal wedding. If we talk about Goa, then weddings here mostly take place in beach resorts.

Similarly, camps are also made in hilly areas and some river or the other is seen flowing near many camps. Everyone wants to get married amidst this natural beauty. This is the reason why camp weddings are being liked so much in destination weddings.

Beautiful decorations are done for Mehndi and Sangeet ceremony in the open ground outside the camp, while the couples take seven rounds in the pavilion on the river bank. This scene becomes memorable for any wedding. This is the reason why camp weddings are being liked a lot. Therefore, nowadays the camps are being made very modern according to the wedding. In these camps, AC rooms, decoration place for Haldi and Mandap are being made.
