One of my most memorable stays in Nainital or rather I'd say unexpected. My decision to book this Once Upon A Forest, Nainital Near Pangot was very random i.e Wanted to stay somewhere close to Pangot. I was expecting a regular resort in a hill with a hyped up name. I was so wrong. True to its name, the property gives you staying in a forest feel. The warm reception by the host /owner was very sweet. He personally helped us check in and made sure we are comfortable and everything is in place. Briefed us about the property and nearby places to visit. The views of this place are to die for and the peace and tranquility that you experience in this place is unmatchable. The ambience of the cottage takes you back in time and you feel cut off with the chaos of everyday life. Another thing I'd like to point out which I was least expecting was the quality of food. Places like these have the most unpalatable food served as their priorities are elsewhere and no one complains about it. But my god, the dinner was delicious. I don't know if it was the view or the clean air, I ate literally twice of what I'd usually consume. I am coming back soon and with a group this time 😁

*breathtaking views and unparalleled relaxation* i just returned from a rejuvenating stay at the once upon a forest, and i'm still pinching myself to believe the experience was real. Perched atop a majestic hill, this resort offers panoramic views that will leave you awestruck. From the moment i arrived, the friendly staff and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The rooms were tastefully designed, with comfortable furnishings and modern amenities. The restaurant served up delicious local cuisine, and the bar offered craft cocktails with a view that was simply unmatched. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply a chance to unwind and recharge, it is a perfect destination. I can't wait to return and experience it all again. *recommendation* don't miss the sunset view.

My wife and i had an amazing experience at this property. The short 150-meter hike infused our adventure with excitement, and upon arrival, we were captivated by the breathtaking mountain vistas. Priyanka and vaibhav, our hosts, ensured our comfort and went above and beyond to make our stay successful. We indulged in delicious authentic cuisine, enjoyed a sunset hike, and delighted in bird watching. With so much to explore, one day simply isn't enough to fully appreciate the beauty of this property; plan for a 2-3 day stay to truly soak it all in.

This place was indeed very beautiful and mesmerizing but it was mentioned that we had to trek to reach there for about 1 km i suppose and with that we faced a lot of problem as i had an injury in my knee. Also there are no sign boards and no networks around the property it was very tough for us to find the property. But once u reach it gives an ultimate experience. Please mention about the trek so that anybody who has an issue should not book it.
