Recently spent a night at farm by pitching the tent, had a few learnings that I wanted to share. Farm is a bit far away from the village & close to wilderness with leopard spotting around the farm.

camping at the farm

Good night sleep .. once you are in the tent you would need some thick blanket material to put on the floor, as the surface you pitch the tent may not be even & could become uncomfortable. As long you are reaching the farm by car, bring along a quilt, blanket to get yourself a good night sleep.

Campfire & dog .. you should have a campfire to keep you warm in the wilderness, also it helps keeping away any intruding animals from your tent. I definitely learnt the benefit of dog on this visit, as it would bark when it sense some movement of anything in the farm close to tent, so you are attentive.

Morning .. be sure to wake up early & catch the morning dew on the plants & soil of the farm, if possible walk barefoot so you can experience it. If you have neem tree in the farm, brush your teeth using neem stick. I learnt the morning dew is less on cloudy days, hope to catch a much colder / misty day later in this winter season.
