How Ronnie Built Nature Hunt Eco Camp (2010)

The Origin Story: Why I Started Nature Hunt

I was tired of corporate hotel chains selling Kaziranga.

In 2010, I looked at the resort landscape in Kaziranga and saw: luxury chains with zero wildlife knowledge, contractors pretending to be “eco-friendly,” prices that made no sense for what you got.

I decided to build something different. Not a 5-star luxury resort. Something authentic.

Nature Hunt Eco Camp was born on three principles:

• Genuine eco-tourism. Our practices drive our pricing, not vice versa.
• Accessibility. Wildlife experiences shouldn’t be luxury-exclusive. Families, students, groups should experience Kaziranga affordably.
• Community. Hire local staff. Buy local food. Teach locals about conservation value. Tourism funds the community, not just my bank account.

14 years later: families, schools, adventure groups, wildlife enthusiasts. Same principles. Still authentic. Because we do things right, not because we cut corners.

Then in recent years, I built Habitas Rhino for a different segment (couples, luxury seekers). But Nature Hunt Eco Camp? That’s my heart. That’s where it all started.

Eco-Tourism & Wildlife Conservation in Kohora Village (Not Greenwashing)

Real eco-tourism in Kohora village is expensive. That’s why most Assam resorts fake it.

Nature Hunt Eco Camp sits in the heart of Kohora village (not isolated from community). We practice genuine conservation. For detailed safari booking information, see our complete Kaziranga safari booking guide.

Kohora Village Integration: Real Community-Based Eco-Tourism

• Kohora village employment: 90% of staff from Kohora community. Not contractors; permanent staff with families. They benefit directly from eco-camp success.
• Local sourcing: Food from Kohora-area farmers and tea gardens (visible from rooms). Guests eat locally-grown vegetables, locally-produced tea.
• Community education: Eco Camp funds Kohora school environmental programs, conservation awareness in village.
• Land respect: Built within Kohora’s landscape (not bulldozed). Tea gardens surround, not bulldozed for resort expansion.

• Water Conservation: Rainwater harvesting, recycled greywater, minimal freshwater extraction. Guests see this system in operation.
• Waste Management: Segregate, compost, minimize plastics, burn nothing. Zero waste goal (we’re at 95%).
• Local Staff: 90% of team from local villages. We train, we pay fairly, we create long-term employment.
• Food: Local sourcing (tea gardens nearby, farmers we know). Not imported specialty ingredients that require carbon footprint.

Fair-value eco-tourism.

Why Families Love Nature Hunt Eco Camp

Nature Hunt Eco Camp was designed for families. Not “also works for families.” Designed for them.

Family-Specific Features

• Spacious Rooms: Kids need space. Our rooms are 400-500 sq ft, not compact luxury cabins. Families can spread out.
• Kid-Friendly Safaris: Morning 7:30 AM safari (not 5:00 AM), evening options that fit nap schedules, shorter routes for young kids.
• Diverse Food: Kids like familiar food. We serve Assamese + Indian + continental. Not just gourmet experiments.
• Nature Exploration: Tea gardens to walk through, birds to identify, insects to learn about. Educational immersion without classrooms.
• Safe Spaces: Grounds designed for kids to play, garden areas to explore, naturalists on staff for wildlife Q&A.
• Group Discounts: School trips, family reunions, multi-family groups get real discounts (15-25% for 10+ people).
• Zero Pretense: Kids spill food. Kids get loud. We’re okay with that. This isn’t a fancy restaurant.

Why do families return? Because kids talk about it for months. “Mom, when are we going back to Kaziranga?” That’s the taste of a family resort.

How to Reach Nature Hunt Eco Camp from Guwahati

Option 1: Self-Drive (Recommended for Comfort)

Route: Guwahati → NH37 (Brahmaputra Valley Highway) → Nagaon → Kaziranga National Park Kohora Gate → Nature Hunt Eco Camp

Time: 4-5 hours depending on traffic in Guwahati city (first 30 min). Highway traffic is light after you exit Guwahati.

Via: Google Maps “Guwahati to Kohora, Kaziranga”. Eco Camp provides directions once booking confirmed.

Cost: If renting a car, budget ₹2,500-4,000 for fuel (depending on vehicle).

Travel Tips for Guwahati → Kaziranga → Eco Camp Route

• Fuel up in Guwahati: Fuel stations are sparse on NH37 after Guwahati. Gas station in Nagaon (~120 km) is last reliable stop.
• Leave early: Depart Guwahati by 6 AM for morning/afternoon arrival. Evening traffic in Guwahati can add 30 minutes.
• Kohora village navigation: Use Google Maps with “Nature Hunt Eco Camp Kaziranga” pinned. Highway signage is clear.
• Best travel months: October–May (dry season). Monsoon (Jun–Sept) makes roads wet/slippery; not ideal for 4-hour drives.
• Food/bathroom stops: Small towns (Nagaon, Kamrup) have basic amenities. Eco Camp offers meals immediately upon arrival.
• Highway safety: Drive during daylight. Night driving on NH37 not recommended (poor lighting, occasional animals on road).

Guwahati Tourism Context: Why Eco Camp is Perfect for Assam Travelers

For Guwahati-based or Assam-visiting families, Nature Hunt Eco Camp breaks the cycle of city-centric tourism:

• Beyond Guwahati city: Escape urban Guwahati (traffic, heat, crowds). Experience authentic Assam countryside in 4.5 hours.
• Authentic Assam experience: Not a luxury bubble. Live in a Kohora village setting with local staff, local food, local perspective.
• Kaziranga as life priority: Most Guwahati tourists visit Kaziranga as afterthought (one-day drive trip). Eco Camp positions it as destination, allowing 2-3 day immersion.
• Gateway to Northeast: From Eco Camp, day trips available to Majuli (tea gardens), Arunachal Pradesh border, Meghalaya (Cherrapunji, 4+ hours further).

Ronnie’s Final Message

Nature Hunt Eco Camp was built 14 years ago in Kohora village because the alternative was terrible for Assam travelers and Kaziranga wildlife.

Families from Guwahati were getting scammed by luxury resorts selling “Kaziranga experience” while treating wildlife like a backdrop. Schools booking through agents paying 40% markup. Conservation was a marketing word, not a practice. Assam eco-tourism was corporate buzzword, not reality.

I built Nature Hunt Eco Camp in Kohora to prove you don’t need luxury or greenwashing to have an authentic, meaningful wildlife experience. You need knowledge. Local wisdom. Fair pricing. Genuine conservation. Community integration.

14 years, 328 five-star reviews, thousands of kids from Guwahati and Assam, and countless families later—it works.

The Eco Camp model has proven that authentic eco-tourism in Kohora village works. When I built Habitas Rhino for luxury travelers, I didn’t abandon Eco Camp. I strengthened it. Now we have two properties serving two segments from Assam and Northeast India, with the same authenticity principle.

If you’re traveling from Guwahati or anywhere in Assam looking for authentic wildlife + conservation + budget + family-focused experience, choose Nature Hunt Eco Camp in Kohora. If you want luxury + romance, choose Habitas Rhino. Both are ours. Both are genuine. Both deserve your visit from Assam.

Book with us from Guwahati. Bring your family. Learn something. Support conservation in Kohora. Come back changed.
