Pangot Resort

There’s something about Pangot that feels like stepping into a different version of the Himalayas. No traffic jams. No crowded viewpoints. Just oak forests, quiet trails, and the kind of stillness that makes you notice the sound of wings.

This tiny hamlet sits about 15 kilometres from Nainital, perched at around 6,500 feet. While most visitors flock to the lake town, Pangot remains wonderfully untouched. It’s where serious birdwatchers come with binoculars and patience, where photographers wait hours for the right light, and where people who’ve had enough of noise come to reset.

If you’re planning a stay here, you’re likely not looking for resort bells and whistles. You’re after space, silence, and maybe a clear view of the Himalayas from your window. The right hotel in Pangot becomes part of the experience, not just a place to sleep.
