Kamalu Bhutambara, father of Nilesh Bhutambara, belongs to the tribal family. He has been in the village for past 60 years when the village had no connectivity with the developed areas. He had survived in the village, solely dependent on food from hunting and collecting medicinal leaves from the forest. His immense exPerience about each nook and corner of the forest is irreplaceable. He has been our inspiration in developing the beautiful location into a tourist place. We would like to give you an exPerience of the serene forest life which is near to impossible in the fast moving city life.

She makes food on a wooden chullah (stove crafted in wood) which families come to eat all the way from Mumbai. Her recipe includes home made spices, freshly picked veggies from the forest and the smoky taste of cooking in wood. Country chicken made by her is a must try for all the non vegetarian lovers. The adoration for her cooking earned her a lot of appreciation and reviews from tourists in google for Prabalgad hotel.
