“Aotel Pangot, formerly Royal Cliff, strikes me as a place defined by its relative isolation and the commitment it asks of its guests. The climb to the rooms might test some, but the treehouse accommodations and valley views promise a worthwhile reward. For those seeking quietude away from Nainital's bustle and prepared for some inconvenience, Aotel Pangot could offer a memorable, if somewhat demanding, escape.”
