Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive, Relax and Explore Khali Estate

Find yourself in the paradise of Khali Estate and its 25 acres of serene and tranquil Deodar grove.
Once the home of Sir Henry Ramsay (the then Commissioner of Kumaon) who built a small cottage here, Khali  charms one with its panoramic view of the snow-clad mountains and its lively avi-fauna. Such is the serenity of this place that even Mahatma Gandhi was captivated by it, and built Shail Ashram.
Dinner and Overnight Stay at the Estate

Day 2, Day 3: Explore Binsar Bird Sanctuary and hike to a Village

After Breakfast, leave Khali Estate for the warm welcomes of the nearby villages.
Accompanied by your professional yet friendly local guide, set off to explore Binsar Bird Sanctuary as you hike to your next port of call, a local village. Your guide will choose a course for you depending upon your fitness and appetite for adventure. Your walk can be an easy 45 minute saunter through pine forests or a 5 hour trek down into the valley and up again into a village. Porters will be available to carry your luggage should you need their help.
Reach the village guest house after building up an appetite.  Enjoy lunch prepared by your village hosts.The  village communities  pride themselves in how well they take care of their guests. Everyone will pitch in to make you feel welcome and comfortable in the village. Explore the homes and fields but don't forget to keep a lookout for bird-life that congregates at the fringes of the village. You can explore the forests around the village accompanied by your guide.
Note: Those opting for the 3 night itinerary will be hiking to the next village on the 3rd Day.  Each village has its own charm and character and the treks from village to village take you through pristine pine and oak forests.
Packed Lunch, Dinner and Overnight Stay at Village Guesthouse.

Final Day: Take Leave and Promise to Come Back

It's breakfast time – and your last chance to enjoy the simple yet tasty village meals. After your vibrant days of trekking through villages and enjoying the views of the Himalayan ranges - it’s time to leave this bird haven and the village lives. Don't forget to promise  yourself to return here someday.
Lunch can be provided depending on your schedule. Please share your time of departure with your guide beforehand.
