Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, Uttarakhand is renowned for its rich biodiversity, cultural heritage, and scenic beauty. Among its many natural treasures is Kafal (Myrica esculenta), a small, wild berry that holds a special place in the hearts of the region’s people. Revered not just for its unique taste but also for its cultural significance, Kafal is a fruit that tells the story of the hills, their traditions, and their people.
