Ranikhet
Uttaranchal is a small
hill station set in the
Kumaon hills. It offers
the tourists a panoramic
view of the mighty
Himalayan peaks. Ranikhet
is the apex of a triangle
which includes Nainital
and Almora, driving along
gentle slopes and pine
covered hillsides, leading
to picnic spots in shady
glens or to sheer cliffs
with breath taking views
of the snow covered
Himalayas, offering
various moods and colours,
from the misty morning sun
to pink, gold and cobalt
blue in all their majestic
glory.
Ranikhet was a cantonment town and in the year 1869, the British established the headquarters of the Kumaon regiment here in Ranikhet and used the station also as a summer retreat to escape the heat of the Indian plains. Ranikhet is still a cantonment town and is the home to the Kumaon (KRC) and Naga regiments of the Indian Army.
