This place is wonderful - located on top of the wooded Binsar hills by the head of Indian Railways in the days of the Raj, Khali Estate has some of the best views in Kumaon. The lodge has lovely rooms, and an amazing library. The rooms are set out in individual circular stone bungalows, each with a picture window view... More

The 2 day trip to The Khali Estate near Almora was truly an amazing experience. The views, the mountains, and the sheer power of nature leaves you absolutely mesmerized. The view of the mighty Himalayas and the valley below leaves you absolutely stunned. The sunrise and sunset are to die for. Time here stands still and you spend the time... More

Tucked away far above in the mountains we finally made it about 5 hours drive from Nainital. The total raw natural appeal with personalized service made it a fantastic holiday. I am usually the one who sticks to star rated standardized hotels so this was quite unusual. Its is more like a family run private estate with a common dining... More

After a journey of long flights, overnight train and interesting taxi journey, Khali was a haven for rest and recuperation. The late lunch provided on our arrival was tasty and served giving us time for a quick wash and brush-up. We had two separate overnight stays. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with excellent views to the Himalayan peaks. The... More

We (Family of 4, 2 Adults+2Children) stayed at Khali Estate for 5 nights and had a ball of time during this stay. Spend some real quality time with family (including going on treks, playing games, reading books, or just walking around). Food was amazing. Not having a TV is a definite boon and would look forward to similar trips to... More

I stayed at Khali Estate for 3 days in June, with 2 small children, and found a run down property which is not receiving sufficient re-investment - Electricity supply is there only for name-sake. Other than for 1 - 1.5 hours per day when the generator was running, there is no way to use either the geyser, or recharge a... More

Khali Estate is a strange title for an estate.I mispronounced it as Khli,but it is actually Khalee(as in empty).The estate is one of the few in Binsar sanctuary that has an expansive amount of land.Khali Estate is very close to the main Binsar sanctuary gate.It sits at about 6700 feet,amongst pine forests,and is hence a bit warmer and less dramatic...

Khali Estate symbolizes what a holiday should be. A quaint, yet beautiful property where you can leisurely spend your vacation with your family. We (me, wifey and kiddo), had a wonderful time enjoying the hospitality of Madan Shah and his bunch of merry men, who made sure that all you take back from this place, are wonderful memories. Large rooms,... More
