Jungle Lore Birding Lodge
Exceptional birding location,
Scenic forest surroundings,
Peaceful escape
Nature Lovers,
Birders,
Couples
One of the best bases for birding opportunities in India, Jungle Lore in Pangot is ideal for keen birders and those who enjoy hiking.
Jungle Lore is well-connected, linking well with a visit to Delhi, Corbett National Park or further adventures into Uttarakhand. There are limited facilities at the lodge, so keep this in mind. As well, we feel it is best for those who are keen birders or hikers as it may not be worth the journey if these activities aren’t high on your priority list.
Best suited for keen birders, hikers, and nature lovers seeking a quiet stay in the mountains with direct access to rewarding trails. You don’t even have to leave the grounds to spot a variety of birdlife!
It’s a humble property sitting amongst oak trees that affords beautiful views of the surrounding mountainous scenery.
Aside from bird watching, from the lodge you can embark on village walks, visit the Ban Sagar lake and take part in cooking classes.
The Rooms
Tucked away into the hillside, rooms are spacious and comfortable, if not luxurious. Each comes with a private balcony to sit back, listen to the birdsong, and take in the mountain air. Interiors are rustic but well-kept, with a warm, homely atmosphere.
