Kaaphal Hill homestay situated in the lap of nature, and in close proximity of the himalaya - with the majestic view of Nanda devi, Nada kot and Panchachuli. A good place for bird watching. Host is welcoming and helpful. They prepared food based on our requirement and need. Room is big enough, bathroom was clean with hot and cold running water. Wifi is good.

A rustic homestay situated near Chaukori in the Kumaon Himalayas. Don't expect luxuries but the absolute joy of staying here surrounded by nature can't be beat. It's also very easy on pocket and on top of it the efforts of the family led by Tarun in providing good hospitality to guests is commendable. Must experience once....

We stayed at the home stay for two nights with our toddler and had a wonderful experience. The home stay is easily accessible by GPS and is on the main road..Just a small uphill walk and u reach the home which is basically a beautiful house with absolute stunning natural beauty with the view of the mountains, loaded trees full of fruits,wild flowers,birds and fresh air. Must compliment the family is very welcoming and supporting.As my kid was along I had no issues in cooking home made food for him.The kitchen and dinning area is open and one can cook, eat and relax. The room we booked had a small pvt balcony with a picturesque view.The room had a separate bed for my child.The bathroom was clean neat and tidy.Cupboard was also provided. On the whole the family tried to the best to make us comfortable.We enjoyed home cooked food which was very nutritious and tasty. Anyone looking for adventure sport can stay for long and learn.We went for a spiritual trip hence the stay was short but we plan to spend some more time in future if we get some time. Over all good experience.

Kaaphal hill is a quaint, authentic farmstay at a slight uphill walk from Berinag Thal road, half a km from Udiyari bend. Remote but very safe for solo female travellers like me, removed from city comforts, perfect if you're feeling adventurous. Accessibility might be a stretch if you don't have your own vehicle, but it's very doable by shared taxis and buses. The place I stayed at was closer to the entrance where you're first greeted by a village style kitchen and dining cottage. The stay itself was in one of the four rustic cabin rooms with a common area, essentials and attached bathrooms provided. Wifi signal is pretty good, ideal for people who WFH. You can see beautiful mountain ranges, early sunrises from the common semi library-cum-game area. It has some interesting books and games in stock. A walk up the hill is highly recommended, although some fitness is required to do it easily. You will spot organic plant beds, tree/bush varieties and many birds here. There are also medicinal, indigenous flowers and fruits like kaaphal (reason for the name of stay), oranges, wild yellow raspberries which can be picked and eaten. The higher up the hill you go, the better your view of the Majestic Kumaoni Himalayas, especially Nandadevi, Nandakot and neighboring peaks. It gets pitch dark after sunset so dont forget to pack your torch. The place also has a gaushala unit where ailing cows are nursed to health with love. Aunty's herbal tea is a magic potion which immediately reduced altitude related swelling in my hands and feet. I had also had the good fortune of tasting Shilajit tea made by Tarun Mehara, the owner. He is a passionate and well informed person who believes in the goodness of organic produce and the Himalayan bounty of plants and terrain. His wife is a sweet, soft spoken lady who cooks authentic kumaoni food with fruit and veg from the farm on a traditional Chulha. They're both warm and hospitable. Do not expect luxury here as the beauty is in the rustic, real nature of this unique homestay. You will be close to the jungle, in the lap of mother earth. The mental peace and relaxation I experienced is immense, so I think it is a great spot for introspection as well as moving your body - the best way to get in touch with oneself. A one of a kind experience for sure.

Kaaphal Hill Homestay is a very special experience. Tarun and his wife are incredible people and have a lot to offer. Go meet them now!

A magical place in the lap of Himalayas!!! Pristine and very well preserved forest which is home for umpteen birds . We stayed here for 2 days,rooms were clean , food was local organic and scrumptious. The hosts are super kind and welcoming!! Must visit place for those who want a sneak peek into true pahadi life.

Amazing property near roadside, yet away from urban chaos, traffic & noise. This Homestay is surrounded by man-made forest created on more than 1000 Nali of land. With authentic Uttarakhandi food served, Tarun, owner of this Homestay, makes sure that guests are comfortably accommodated in the specially designed rooms with rustic vibes !
