Our USP:Strategically Located Inside the Forest
Hornbill View Cottages is strategically positioned within the Mahananda forest landscape of Latpanchar, not outside it. This means guests stay inside the wilderness, surrounded by towering trees, bird calls, and misty trails rather than roads and buildings. Our location places you directly within one of Eastern India’s most biodiverse forest corridors.
Close to Natural Hornbill Trees
Our cottages are built near natural hornbill nesting and feeding trees, where these magnificent birds return year after year. Guests often see hornbills flying across the canopy, feeding in fruiting trees, or calling from the forest—an experience rarely possible in regular hill accommodations.
A Bird Watching Paradise – 300+ Species
Latpanchar is known internationally as a birding hotspot, with over 300 recorded species. From Rufous-necked Hornbills to trogons, broadbills, frogmouths, flycatchers, and Himalayan forest birds, every walk around the cottages offers new sightings. Whether you are a serious birder or a curious nature lover, this is one of the richest bird habitats in Eastern India.
Home of Rare and Special Species
This forest supports a wide range of special and rare species that depend on undisturbed habitat. The unique mix of Himalayan, subtropical, and tropical forest zones allows many birds and animals to thrive here, making Latpanchar a living conservation area.
Scenic Beauty That Changes Every Hour
Surrounded by sal, teak, cinchona, and broadleaf forests, the landscape of Latpanchar offers misty mornings, sunlit valleys, and dramatic forest sunsets. From nearby viewpoints, guests can enjoy panoramic mountain and valley views, creating a peaceful and inspiring natural environment.
Forest Cottages, Not Just a Homestay
Hornbill View Cottages are true forest cottages, not village homestays. Unlike homestays located among houses and shops, our cottages are set inside nature, offering privacy, silence, and direct access to wildlife and birding trails. Here, you don’t visit the forest — you live in it.
