About

Surya Shibir is an eco-friendly resort nestled deeply in the Sahyadri Valley, just 50 km from Pune. It offers a breathtaking panorama of the Varasgaon Dam backwaters and rolling green hills.

The great outdoors had always fascinated Mr. Neelkanth Bhide, the founder of Surya Shibir. An electrical engineer by profession, Late Shri Bhide - who was fondly called Anna - had a deep-rooted liking for nature. Concerned about the effects of the stressful city life on children's health, he took the initiative and started the campsite in 1997. For almost two decades now, Surya Shibir has been the favorite destination for children's camps. It is a safe and well-maintained place where children learn about the importance of nature conservation. They also get an opportunity to play, explore the wilderness, and indulge in adventure activities.

Though Surya Shibir opened its gates originally as a nature camp for children, today it has developed into a sprawling Resort with superb amenities and it is a popular getaway for families and an emerging venue for corporate events.
