Jungalia Gaon

Perched high in the mountains, just 12 km from Bhimtal, Jungalia Gaon is a hidden sanctuary far from the bustle of everyday life. The journey up winds through breathtaking valleys and forests of pine and oak, revealing a world untouched by time. In this quiet hamlet, farmers nurture terraced fields of wheat, apples, and walnuts. Local folklore links its name to the Urdu word for war, ‘Jang,’ though its origins remain uncertain. The Verandah is perfectly positioned between a sun-dappled pine glade and the enchanting Sunset Point, where vistas of Naukuchiatal Lake unfold—a retreat where nature’s grandeur meets the charm of seclusion.

Distance from NCR: 314 Kms (~ 6 hour drive).
