Team L&M

Luxury branded-homestay and boutique resort Seclude now enters the off-beat tourist destination of Pangot. Situated at a height of 6,300 feet, Seclude Pangot Perch is in Pangot village in Nainital district of Uttarakhand. The place is well connected by road and just under a 6-hour drive from New Delhi.

The eight-cottage resort has been built entirely using locally sourced materials and employed local workers to complete the project. Pangot is renowned for its lush forests and abundant birdlife. It is home to over 300 species of birds. The property is just a 14-minute drive to the Pangot and Kilbury Bird Sanctuary, making it the perfect destination for couples, groups and families looking to reconnect with nature.

“We are excited to launch Seclude Pangot Perch, as we aim to further scale up the niche category of branded homestays, being pioneered by us. We aim to double our room count to over 200 rooms and 200 employees by the end of 2023. The latest launch sets Seclude up for an optimistic 2023, and we are excited to see what the year ahead has in store for us.” says Ramit Sethi, Founder, Seclude.

The latest launch follows the previous year’s highlights for Seclude, which includes a 50% growth rate in 2022, riding on ambitious plans to scale-up, via collaboration with small businesses for merchandising, and creating a conducive ecosystem promoting local artisans, artists, local service providers. Seclude also plans to diversify its offering by entering events, weddings, wellness programs, and launch drives within multiple Seclude properties.

“Each of Pangot Perch’s luxurious private cottages overlooks a breath-taking view of the valley. We’ve utilised the Japanese inspired Wabi-Sabi design philosophy across the property, with large picture windows, use of rustic locally sourced materials, and minimalist approach. The latest launch really pushes the benchmarks in terms of design and location. Pangot is a true gem within the Himalayan Mountains, and we are thrilled with the opportunity to welcome and offer travellers a truly unique experience.” adds the other Founder Rohit Sethi.
