THE LIVING SPACES
3 BEDROOMS (Sleeps 6+3)
THE MEDITATION HALL 🧘♀️
A private, light-filled wellness space for yoga, breathwork, meditation, stretching, children's play, reading or creative work. Mats, blocks, bolsters and cushions are provided.
OUTDOOR SPACES 🌲
Step outside and you're directly on the forest trails of Kilbury Bird Sanctuary. Terraces, winding garden paths, and hidden seating nooks designed for solitude or conversation. The Star Deck is our open-sky pause point - for dusk tea, blankets, silence and, on clear nights, the grandeur of the Milky Way.
LIVING WITH NATURE 🦋 : The Slow House sits inside Kilbury Bird Sanctuary, which means the boundary between inside and outside is gentler here than in a city home. You may see the occasional moth, beetle, or forest fly resting on a curtain or window , these are harmless residents of the oak forest, and part of why birdlife thrives at the property. None of them bite or sting. If anything ever feels out of place, the housestaff is just a call away.

Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Pangot, The Slow House is surrounded by the dense Oak and Rhododendron forests of the Kilbury Bird Sanctuary. Unlike the bustling town of Nainital (which is a scenic 45-minute drive away), Pangot is a sanctuary of silence. Here, the neighbors aren't people, they are the Himalayan Griffons, Cheer Pheasants, and Barking Deer. The village follows a gentle rhythm. You will hear the sound of wind in the pines, the distant bells of grazing cattle, and the morning chorus of over 250 species of birds. It is an ideal neighborhood for those who want to trade traffic noise for forest songs. By Car: We are accessible by a cemented motorable road. You can drive right up to the property. Parking: We have safe, on-site parking available for guests. Taxi Services: If you are not driving, we recommend hiring a private taxi from Kathgodam (nearest railway station, ~2.5 hours), Nainital or Delhi. Local Travel: We are located about 15km (45-minute drive) from the main Nainital market. If you wish to visit the Mall Road or nearby lakes, we can help arrange a trusted local taxi for a day trip. On Foot: The immediate neighborhood is best explored on foot. There are beautiful walking trails right outside our gate.
