What to know

Popularly referred to as the fruit bowl of Uttarakhand, Ramgarh is a serene hill-station situated in the Kumaon region. Located high up on a hill, at a height of around 1,789 m, and just 35 km from Nainital, remote Ramgarh is dotted with a number of orchards of apricots, peaches, plums, apples, etc. Scenic and offering solitude, it was founded by the British and thus retains traces of colonial heritage. Ramgarh's salubrious weather has always attracted artists and thinkers. It was visited frequently by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and famous Hindi writer and poetess Mahadevi Verma. Ramgarh is an ideal place to drink in the beauty of the Himalayas in solitude, peace and quiet.
Don't plan a packed itinerary but enjoy leisurely nature walks and maybe a hike up to Jhandidhar through oak and rhododendron forests for a with a 360° view of mountain peaks.
