In the foothills of the Himalayas, The Old Bungalow- 1830, and The Writers' Bungalow -1860, are located in the fruit basket of the Kumaon region. These heritage structures once housed the British and Indian officers as well as their wives who travelled on horseback and palanquins.
Many writers and thinkers have been drawn to the beauty of Ramgarh: Sri Aurobindo and Narain Swami established ashrams, Rabindranath Tagore wrote some of his major work-even contemplating founding Shantiniketan here; Mahadevi Verma made it her home and some of India's leading industrial families continue to have sprawling orchards. From May to September the orchards by the Writes' and Old Bungalows hang with Apricots, Plums, Peaches, Pears and Apples.
Ramgarh makes an ideal base for long walks or drive to discover the surrounding areas of Mukteshwar, Bhimtal, Almora, or even for golfing at Nainital and Ranikhet.
Accommodation
The Bungalows have been restored and refurnished in the old world charm of rural England. Home made biscuits and tea by the fireplaces make for memorable 19th century moments which will be missed by the times to come.
