Light up a bonfire – 

Temperatures go down during the night in most of the hill stations and so does in Coorg. Lighting up a bonfire from the wood collected from the nearby locations would be a really good extravaganza. Campers can also learn the skill of lighting up a bonfire even during moist conditions. This trick is essentially helpful when you try to light up a bonfire at your own place or during the monsoon weather when the air around you is really moist.

Eat your hunted crabs and fish – 

Because camping sites have additional activities planned for the campers, this is one thing you can do over there if you love non vegetarian options to eat. Because you don’t have to pay for your food here but hunt your own food, it would be an expedition of an own and one can also vie with others in a friendly banter. Moreover, an individual can learn and adopt the hunting skills which can also act as essential life skills in the future emergencies. All campers can roast their crabs and fishes in the campsite and enjoy it with some drinks as well.

Stargaze the starry night – 

Sitting with your loved ones under an open sky is certainly one of the best leisure activities a man can do in his/her entire life. Resting on the moist grass with your friends and family whilst trying to spot constellations in the sky displaying every ounce of astronomical knowledge you possess. Sometimes you can even spot rare occurrences of planets in the sky which include Venus, Jupiter, etc. due to low light pollution and clear skies in the locality.

Indulge in fun and bonding activities – 

Playing team games with other companions in the chilly night environment in front of the bonfire shall help you create a plethora of friends as well. Some games include playing the treasure hunt, have singing duets for karaoke competitions, make teams and go for crab or fish hunting in the freshwater bodies. This can also be extended to finding the wood which is necessary to light up the bonfire. All such activities foster companionship among the tourists and help them to get to know each other from close quarters.

Chit chat with other companions – 

Starting conversations with your companions during the bonfire session can help you gain paramount knowledge and experience of things as well. You can spot like-minded people as well and create a rapport with them on topics you both like the most. An environmental degradation related topic can be talked upon and ideas for protecting the environment can also be thought upon. In this way, a mere bonding session could possibly result in an idea which could save the biodiversity in the upcoming days. Moreover, if appropriate steps are taken, these ideas can be converted into startups provided that the individuals have the necessary funding with them to monetize this particular idea or just do it for the social welfare of the tourists and the local people living there. 

Explore wildlife at night – 

Well it may not be a good idea to roam alone in the jungle for spotting different wildlife species at night, but surely in a group you can go for spotting fireflies or insects which are active at night. These fireflies are present in open gardens around the area and scintillate light continuously at night. This provides a wonderful scene for the people who watch the aesthetic created by these fireflies in the jungle. Moreover, you can spot other insects and enjoy their lovely buzzing sounds. All such activities will make your night at the camp pass by really quickly and you would not want to leave this place until you are hit by the reality of your lifestyle.
