Ranikhet is a picturesque Himalayan small town that doubles up as a hill station and a military cantonment. It is lesser known among tourists but is no less than other famous hill stations and towns of Uttarakhand. Ranikhet is an ideal place for those looking to spend their summer vacations in peace amid the panorama of the Himalayas and down valleys. Read on for more information on spending your summer vacation in Ranikhet and also check out some good Ranikhet hotels to stay.

With its position near the Himalayas and its beauty, it is no wonder that Ranikhet is becoming a popular spot slowly yet steadily for those who dare the trudge. The lovely little town has a calming effect on the mind and the body plus it is also a great place to trek amid the pine and oak trees. Some of the nice places to roam about are Golf Course which is unquestionably one of the most breathtakingly beautiful courses, and then the famous Jhoola Devi temple. Also check out the gardens at Chaubattia that is 10kms away from the town and from there take a trip to the Ganga maya lake that is a serene place to relax. Then 38kms from Ranikhet is Dwarahat ...
... another beautiful town that is full of old and ancient temples, sculptures and structures dating back to the Katyuri Rajas era. To reach Ranikhet take a taxi or a bus from the Kathgodam railway station that is 85kms away and is also close to Nainital. A shorter route is through Bhimtal near Nainital that is a spectacular path but the real icing on the cake is the last stretch of road after the bridge at Khairna. The nearest airport is at Pant Nagar, a good 115kms away but it has only basic service facilities.

Being a hill station, the best time to visit Ranikhet is during the summer season even though a winter has its own unique beauty. The temperatures in summers rarely touch extremes and the extremely pleasing climate makes for a great time to have a leisurely walk. Also winters have heavy snowfall which often disrupts transportation thus it is best to have a summer vacation in Ranikhet.
