Please postpone Your plan to November, December or January because November to January is winter season here. 

The temperature in April and may Reach up to 42 to 45℃. This is summer season and heat is at its high point in April and May.

You will need permission for Drone Shooting.

I'm not sure about 3 days camping.

I'll give you More info about this place and local treks.

Thank you
