"Bajoon" (without the quotes) and follow the driving directions. Please
do not follow Google Maps directions for Fagunia Farmstay as they are incorrect. The recommended road route is
Delhi-Hapur-Moradabad Bypass-Rampur-Bazpur-Choti Haldwani-Mangoli-Bajoon. We will send you the detailed last mile route map to our location after booking confirmation.The last 3 km of the route to the village is a scenic but stony and untarred rough forest track (see video and photos below for reference), which can seem scary and adventurous but is motorable and needs to be driven on with caution. SUVs, sedans and hatchbacks are fine on that forest road as long as they have decent ground clearance. Vehicles bigger than a typical SUV like Force Travellers or mini-buses cannot be driven on this forest road. We can arrange local car transfers for the forest road if required at extra cost.
