The best places in India for camping activity are Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Rajasthan. In Himachal Pradesh there are few famous camping sites like Sarachu, Sangla, Kalpa and Kaza.

Now when the best location for camping activity has been ascertained, next step comes determining the best tent, which requires one to ponder upon various factors. In order to come with the right type of tent, you need to learn about dimension of tent, that is size of the tent. Tent size depends upon the count of campers, how many people you'll be camping with. Considering the size also take in account the extra materials you would be carrying along with you while traveling. Next comes, confirming the shape of your tent. Generally, tents are available in four basic shapes- A-frame, wall, umbrella and geodesic or dome. A-frame tent is the tent with a shape like pup, it is a quite large tent. The wall tent is like an A-frame tent, which has vertical side walls and is generally much larger. Umbrella tent is common tent that is used in family camping activity. It has lots of standing rooms with large windows. Geodesic tent comes in varied shapes, but all of them look like a combination of connected triangles.
Normally tents with square floor shapes are more efficient and comfortable also, but laying can be difficult lest you get less space. But, round floor with geodesic or dome tents can exactly make up for the less efficient layout. Poles are necessary when setting up the tent; in that case choose between aluminum and fiberglass poles. Well, mostly tents have poles that are linked together with an elastic shock cord. Poles can bend or break, so carry emergency repair links along with you. Next step towards choosing the best tent is finding the right fabric. Generally tents are made of nylon that makes them waterproof. Test the zippers, they should open and close freely and smoothly and should not be made of a rusting material. Next, make sure that the seams in your tent are done with nylon tape.

Apart from this, wind, rain, sun, heat and cold all have different effects on the tent. In any case choose sturdy poles, stakes, and anchor ropes. Your tent and even the floor of the tent should be entirely waterproof, it should be made of coated nylon. There should be rain fly that fully covers the top and sides.Only after taking all these points in consideration, set for bagging the best, suitable and comfortable camping tent that will make your camping experience even more appeasing and memorable.Have a pleasant and rocking vacation.
