Nashik’s Eco Glamping festival offers tourists the best of idyllic rural life in the lap of luxury and riverside views

Imagine waking up by the Gangapur Dam Backwaters, sipping tea as mist rolls over the hills, before diving into a day of adventure, culture and indulgence. That’s what Nashik’s Eco Glamping Festival, organised by Maharashtra Tourism, offers — an escape where Nature meets luxury.

A Taste of Maharashtra

Eco Glamping festival in Nashik brings together nature, adventure and culture of Maharashtra

Each evening, the festival brings Maharashtra’s culture to life, from the electrifying Lavani performances to a farm-fresh feast featuring Misal Pav, Indrayani Rice and Puran Poli. Guided tours explore historic temples such as Trimbakeshwar and Warli painting workshops offer a hands-on dive into tribal art. “The idea was to create a space where adventure, culture, and eco-consciousness come together, allowing guests to disconnect from urban chaos and reconnect with Nature,” says Dr. BN Patil, IAS, Director, Directorate of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra.

With plans to expand, Nashik’s Eco Glamping Festival is just the beginning of a new way to explore Maharashtra—where Nature, culture and adventure blend seamlessly. Dr Patil adds, “We are exploring additional locations that align with the eco-glamping philosophy and offer unique natural and cultural experiences.”
