Great experience….. Stayed in the lush green deep forest, food was so delicious, was pure kumauni and organic, seen barking dear, himalayan fox, many birds.Santosh Ji’s family members are so welcoming, cooperative and polite. If you love to see Himalaya, Jungle, Traditional meal, Wildlife and peace…it’s perfect place.

Our second visit to Joshi Cottage. Set amongst the pine covered hills of the Binsar Reserve this is the ideal escape from the madness and heat of the Indian cities. Perfect for a winter break from the UK, the low to mid 20’s temperatures, and reliable sunshine make for perfect trekking weather in the company of the owner Santosh. He is an expert bird guide and can tailor any walk to suit your needs. When not walking you can also relax in the village and just sit back and let the extended Joshi family cater to your every need. With chai available on demand and sumptuous meals, in one of the best bird watching areas we have ever visited in India, your stay here will be an experience never to be forgotten. Very highly recommended.

This place is heaven for bird watchers and nature lovers. It’s in the midst of the most beautiful jungle surrounded by mountains. Amazing hospitality by Santosh ji and his sweet family. Food served was very organic from the farm and taste is beyond par. Thank you for making it memorable. Will definitely recommend to all nature lovers.

Beautifully located and surrounded by enchanting pine forest and fauna (chirping of birds). So enigmatic environment. Hospitality is superb. Food quality is so delicious. Views from the cottage are just amazing. Path till cottage was full of rhododendron. If you will lucky, you can see the full bloom in April.
