Mountain Quail Birding Lodge
Almora

Himalayan vistas and alluring wilderness at Mountain Quail Birding lodge bewitch all those who travel to Pangot. Run by Sid Anand, who resides in the Kumaon Hills, Mountain Quail has a homely yet outdoorsy feel to it and is committed to conservation and protecting the environment. The clue in the title rings true, Mountain Quail is ideal for our bird watching enthusiasts. Spotted forktail, redbilled blue magpie, Kaleeje, Golden Eagle and Himalayan Friffon are a few examples of the many species you can expect to see.

The lodge is comprised of four cabana style suites all with en suite facilities. Wooden and simple, the suites have a back-to-nature feel to them which is wholly appealing, the perfect excuse to retract from technological pressures of modern society. In the restaurant, local Kumaoni chefs prepare exquisite local dishes and are just as happy to provide continental options too, with both cuisines on the menu. Mountain Quail is fantastic for the wilderness wanderers as the area boasts multiple activities from trekking to horse safaris.

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.

Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim.

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had.

An absolutely first-class service all round!
