Gypsy Byte
This trip was a much needed respite from the noise and rush of the city. The surroundings are serene. We spotted a wide variety of birds like the Bar-tailed Tree Creeper, Scaly-breasted Munia and many other in the forests around the estate. A lot of our time was spent unwinding- reading our favorite paperback or star-gazing. We also partook in the farming and gardening activities.
About Chalni Chinna
Nestled in a quiet corner of the Kumaon Himalayas, your Chalni Chinna village holiday will be a fairytale getaway offering panoramic views of the Nanda Devi Massif. Lose yourself in silent forests of pine, oak and rhododendron trees; walk down terraced fields laden with seasonal fruits and vegetables; lie next to a gurgling perennial natural spring- this place is the epitome of peace. Share your stories with the locals as you join us on a village walk. Unwind reading your favorite book or simply doing nothing. The area has a very rich bird population. You can spot the Scaly-breasted Munia, Grey Shrike, Red-billed Blue Magpie, Himalayan Whistling Thrush etc. Besides you can settle just about anywhere and dig into sumptuous Kumaoni delicacies.
