Can anyone suggest economical accommodation in/around Sattal and a good guide? I'm planning a solo trip to Sattal for bird photography and need support there.

Tanmay Keshav KMVN lodge and there is a forest rest house too I think. Both should be economical and well located

Nitish Parihar Thanks you Tanmay, any guide there?

Somnath Goswami When are you planning ? If you stay at the accommodations as mentioned by Tanmay you can just book the hides and pick up the guides from there onward. A nearby point called "studio" is also very rewarding and is open to all.

Nitish Parihar Thank you Somnath, I'm planning in this coming week

Somnath Goswami Hari Lama ( 99279 35841) is one of the best guides , but pricey .

Nitish Parihar Thank you Mr. Paul and Somnath. I know Hari, had a talk with him earlier. Thanks again for helping out.

Shrikant Kelkar YMCA is cheapest & the best. Food is lovely. There are many experienced guides. I can tell you names with contact nos too. Just 2 months back, I was there for 4 nights. You may contact me if really interested. Thanks
