Ranikhet Tour Package from Haridwar

Ranikhet — meaning "Queen's Meadow" — is a pristine Kumaon hill station at 1,829 metres known for its old-world cantonment charm, lush orchards, and jaw-dropping Himalayan views. The town is home to the Kumaon Regiment and has remained beautifully unspoiled compared to other popular hill stations. The Chaubatia Gardens spread over 600 acres of apple, pear, plum, peach and apricot orchards at 1,800m — a true paradise for families.

The Upat Golf Course at 1,829m is one of Asia's highest golf courses with commanding views of Nanda Devi, Trishul and Maiktoli peaks. The town's many temples, colonial bungalows, and peaceful pine forests make it one of Uttarakhand's most underrated destinations.
