Khali Estate

Food location staff view from the room.

Location was great. The staff was ok.

My wife and I were bitten by bedbugs. Room No.15. General cleanliness is poor.

Beautifully located, with the best sunset views. The property itself is sprawling, with ample space to sit and unwind. It feels like a space with a lot of character, a lot of history. The staff is extremely helpful. I almost didn’t book the place because I read that the food is pure veg. As a hardcore non vegetarian, this worried me a bit, but if you’re like me, I’d like to put your fears to rest. Yes, the food is vegetarian, but it’s so tasty, healthy and wholesome that at no point did I miss meat.

Nothing in particular. The Wi-Fi is extremely weak and there is close to no network, but for me that just helped because it kept me in the present. I couldn’t scroll mindlessly, so ended up reading 2 full books from their library, a habit I’d been promising myself I would get back to.

Surrounded by deodar,calm and mesmerizing

The location, the warmth of the people who run the place, the sense of belonging, the rooms, the estate itself, the view from the rooms. Honestly, it's difficult to find fault. If you are ok with a relatively remote location (reaching the place may take long if there is a traffic block in the hilly roads.. we took around 5 hours) and being totally immersed in nature, this place for you.

Nothing..

The Khali Estate is nestled inside the Binsar Bird Sanctuary. The Property is Splendid No words to describe. It’s Historical. Existing since 1806 from the British Era. The Rooms are well appointed with necessities. The Hospitality of the Staff is excellent. The Food is Homely very Tasty. Overall great Stay and Experience. We also did a Bird Walk through the Forest with Deepak who is a naturalist and was excellent.

It is a lovely, and restful place to stay inside Binsar reserve surrounded by forest and amazing views. It has a strong character of an old estate with lots of history and very attentive service. We had a beautiful cottage with a balcony view of the Himalayas, comfortable bed….hot water bottles to warm up your bed at night was a welcome touch as it got chilly at night The place was quiet in early March (before summer season begins) and we really enjoyed eating dinner in front of the fireplace and having breakfast outdoors on the patio overlooking the valley Interesting architecturally and historically?

Nothing really! It was easy to get transport to other places in the reserve from the hotel staff

Inside the Binsar Forest Sanctuary, pristine nature and wilderness with a fabulous view if Nanda Devi from the rooms.

Location and the history of the property

They only serve veg

I loved the property. Its beautiful and the sunset was breathtaking. Cottage was very beautiful with mesmerizing view of lush green forest. Food was good and kids friendly, but nothing fancy with we ❤️. Staff was very friendly and humble. They provide comfortable stay for the driver too. The whole property is covered with beautiful seasonal flowers which i enjoyed a lot. There is a jungle treck too which is again very beautiful. Everything about this property is a treat for the eyes and if you are a person for history you can check their photographs and library, Mahatma Gandhi too has spent sometime there as I saw some of his pictures.

Only one concern as this property is situated in real Jungle wildlife reserve I had a wild encounter with scorpion 🦂 it somehow managed to get into my luggage bag and I escaped very nerrowly. But staff helped us to remove it from our room.

A beautiful property with fascinating history! This hotel is in the middle of the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, which makes it even more beautiful. It is surrounded by lush green forest. Sometimes, adorable animals and a variety of birds are seen too! If you come at the right time, the Himalayan ranges can be seen so clearly. They actually have a wonderful observation deck to witness the grandeur of the Himalayas! The rooms are cosy and comfortable, and the food is great, cooked often with organic vegetables and fruits grown on the property. But the best part about our stay were the hosts, Himanshu and Manisha, who welcomed us with so much warmth and really took care of us. Their hospitality was truly the highlight of the trip. We will definitely visit again.

The food was superb..Cook Puran singh was outstanding..Manager Pandey ji was very cordial

Lovely, well maintained property. Serene, away from hustle-bustle experience.

The hospitality and food was outstanding.

The bathrooms need to be more clean...

Property needs maintenance. Food is very basic. excellent views.

Rooms, menu, overall property infra

Amazing location in the middle of the jungle

Nothing to be not liked off as of now

Property is located in sanctuary. Very peaceful, relaxing and one of good place to run away from hussle. Staff is very well mannered, polite, always ready to help attitude. Due forest fire we were so late to reach resort but entire waited for us to serve dinner that too hot on top of it they had their dinner after we had ours. Which was and 11.30 pm. I would surly recommend this place to visit for a stay

In addition all good things I have written thing I feel they should improve in water heating system in the room. Being in cold place geyser I feel should be well equipped. It was summer time when we went yes it was hot in afternoon so fan would be food have in a room. Room did not have ac or a fan. Although this may not need ac or fan for most of months but it will be good to have in summer.

The property is a heritage bungalow built in 1896 and has been the house for some very significant persons from history including Ms Vijay Lakshmi Pandit, Mahatma Gandhi to name a few. The opportunity to stay at such a place was a great feeling. The property is owned by Mr. Himanshu Pandey who treats all guests as family and conversations at the dining hall is nothing short of a cozy family dinner. The food is home cooked meals that does not make ones stomach heavy but when we left the property our hearts were full with joy and warmth.

Food was simple and delicious with balanced spices and easily digestive.

some upgradations needed , like room service facilities, room furniture and bathroom renovation.

The food is good in general, but could be less spicy and not so much oriented on Indian visitors only. But chef is good, friendly and understanding. Location is great, nature and silence are wonderful. However, if you want to visit other attractions in the area, you should be ready for a very uncomfortable fact that "Khali estate" is located in Binsar Wildlife sanctuary and the gates are closed at sunset. Location is absolutely great for those who need total isolation from the rest of the world for a few days. We saw lots of birds very near and also a hare and a marten.

It’s hard to sport anything we didn’t like. The property is beautiful in the middle of the greenery. Kudos to the staff for following up on special requests timely and ensuring a memorable stay for us.

Suggested telco connection is JIO or BSNL as Airtel doesn’t work too well. This is not a negative for the property.

lovely staff, very kind, friendly, and attentive. The setting is great, quiet, and magical. the surroundings were nice too.

the food was a bit blah. I wish they served more local cuisine instead of the staple north India / Delhi food. the beds and pillows are not the most comfortable.

Best location and friendly staff

nothing

Amazing property ! Great views from the rooms and the staff were exceptional !

The most pathetic experience I have ever had in my life. They took the booking through booking.com, when reached the place, the whole property was closed. Only one guard, who was not aware of our arrival. He spoke to the manager who also had no knowledge of the booking. The whole property had no guest for the past 30 days, I don't understand how booking.com entertains these unprofessional hotels and resorts without any verification.
