 Kafal
House lies 15 kilometers away from Nainital in Pangot. Nainital, Kilbury and
Pangot have the richest oak, pine and rhododendron forest in the area. This
green belt supports an enormous variety of Himalayan flora and fauna.
The
lodge has well-furnished rooms with twin beds and attached baths with hot and
cold running water. The design provides good ventilation and the wooden-tin roof
give good insulation in cold weather
For
those in search of relaxation there are quiet jungle sit-outs nearby. The
surrounding jungle offers excellent walks.
Activities
There are many walking trails through the surrounding jungle. You can
choose your own trail. One of the popular walks is from the Kilbury
forest rest house to Pangot.
You can go through the forest or along the main road, which rarely
sees vehicles pass by. The oak, pine, bamboo, cedar, rhododendron and
other conifers make the walk delightfully beautiful and refreshing.
The undergrowth is as fascinating with varieties of fern and moss
breaking through the rich soil.
The forest gets thicker as you walk further. The trickle of fresh
water streams enriches the habitat. You can often spy wildlife around
the streams. A host of birdlife inhabits this world. An absolute dream
for a birdwatcher, this walk is a must.
