“Kafal” also known as Bayberry is a fruit native to Uttarakhand and is widely used in folk medicine to treat ailments such as cough, chronic bronchitis, ulcers, anemia, fever, diarrhea, and ear, nose, and throat disorders. Made world famous through a kumaoni song (Bedu pako…), “Kafal” is the state fruit of Uttarakhand and therefore the largest bedroom at the top of the cottage, offering a bird’s eye view of the surroundings, is aptly named after it. Kafal provides a whooping large area of about 585 sq feet which includes a balcony of 54 sq feet and an open terrace of about 170 sq feet. A stay in “Kafal” will leave you elated and refreshed with the panoramic view of the snow capped Himalayas in the front and the pine forest at the back.
The room also provides you the luxury of enjoying a night time bonfire (on extra charge basis) in the attached open terrace while soaking sunshine in it during the day time. For entertainment “Kafal” has a 43” SMART SAMSUNG LED TV. For guests who want to remain connected with their work the room has a study table with an ergonomically designed pushback chair. It also has a mini Refrigerator and electric Tea kettle along with complimentary tea, coffee, sugar and milk sachets. A steam iron and an ironing board is also provided. Kafal also has an additional settee measuring 4’6” x 2’1” that can accommodate one additional child.
For the newly weds, or for that matter for any couple desiring privacy, Kafal is the ideal room to stay in.
