“Excellent getaway in the hills - very good birding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

Jungle Lore Birding Lodge and Kafal Lodge in Pangot are both excellent places for birding. These

are also ideal for getting away from the din of more ordinary hill stations and spending a quiet

relaxed time bonding with the hills. Kafal Lodge looks out over a forested valley with the

distant Shivaliks and the hills of Corbett in the backdrop. Birding is mostly excellent, more so

for the amateur ornithologist, ans just spending time at the verandah and the bird-feeds around

the camp will delight you. Very kind and helpful staff, excellent food (non-veg is served at

night) - both Indian and Continental - and comfortable, clean rooms with prompt and courteous

service and a general feeling of a nice, comfy homestay. Pangot is a like a little village tucked

away in the forest and a haven for nature-lovers. Hopefully, there will not be an overkill in

terms of development activities though one or two more small places are coming up when we visited

in April 2010. Electricity is available, though not obtrusive enough to ruin the atmosphere.

Pangot and Kafal Lodge are definitely rare experiences that should be on the must-do list for

nature lovers. Mid-March onwards to July, there could be forest fires on the hills that obscure
views.

“Restful Kafal....birding at leisure!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2010

Visit to Pangot ..Kafal House was the first stop in our 10 day itinery in offbeat Uttarakhand.The simplicity and comfort of the lodge was immensely gratifying notwithstanding the non-intrusive yet concerned services of the staff.Kafal House ,itself is situated quite unobtrusively in the jungles of Pangot and offers a delightful getaway for a citybred.Initially misleading but the natural charm is quite by chance and oh!so restful.The staff is warm,friendly and informative ,very courteous and fortunately not clinically so like in tourist destinations!!They very much feel like somebody you've known earlier and that by far speaks volumes about the extent of comfort felt by us.The food is delectable and fresh..customised which makes one feel special.We stayed in one of the inter-connected rooms which was basic,simple and very comfortable.The verandah was however used more than the rooms as it provided a great view and the tranquility of the surroundings permeated deep within us.The only suggestion i would care to make is to do away with the plastic chairs as they were so out of sync in the rustic environs!Library was a huge surprise and a great comfort too..Thank you ,everyone at Kafal House for looking after us with so much warmth and keep up the good work.
