Where to Stay in Kufri?

There are lots of cool cottages, Homestays, and properties to get a good experience of nature. I recommend The Alpine Wood Swiss-style duplex huts and The Tribe Cafe.

You can also look for Hotels and walk-in directly to stay overnight, but for longer stays you have to book online 2-3 months before arriving. Also in peak seasons, you can face room and water availability issues.

Summer Peak Season starts from 01st April to 30th June

Winter Peak Season starts from 20th December to 05th January

If you want to camp or looking for a campsite then you can head toward Fagu 6km from Kufri for better and safer camping.
