Do you crave for the chill invigorating breeze of the mountains but are scared of the crowds of tourists that flock these hill-stations? The most accessible hill towns of Uttarakhand : Nainital, Dehradun, and Mussourie are no longer placid, quiet, and tranquil as they used to be. The time has come to step your vacation style a notch higher, away from the mainstream madness, and opt for a regal stay.
An easily accessible option is The Ramgarh Bungalows by Neemrana Hotels. The Ramgarh Bungalows are part of the eminent '23 non-hotel' hotels of the Neemrana Group. Ramgarh, a small town located only an hour's drive from Nainital is the ideal destination to experience the hills in their absolute purity. In fact, the unique selling point of The Ramgarh Bungalows is the exclusive vintage style it is done up with that makes you feel as if you are a character from an enchanting Ruskin Bond story.
Located at a conveniently drive-able distance of 35km from Nainital, reaching the royal Ramgarh Bungalows takes about 8 hours from New Delhi. A quiet group of bungalows tucked cozily amidst a small mountain, the Ramgarh Bungalows is the perfect place if you are seeking peace of mind or want to regain your focus towards life. There are six bungalows where each room has its own theme that is exemplified by its exclusive decor.
All the bungalows are designed in typically Colonial style, complete with comforting fireplaces, picturesque bay windows, inviting verandahs and lush terraced gardens. One can take limitless walks along the woods and simply relish nature in its uninterrupted natural course. Some typical scenes at the Bungalows include people sipping endless cups of tea and filling in their journals against the bright sunset colors; elderly couples sitting beneath the pinks of a walnut tree enjoying a book; groups huddled around bonfires narrating stories and singing old songs. Such is the vibe of the place- it will make you feel the deepest emotions of your heart and help you hear the faintest sound of your innermost thoughts.
Choose from The Old Bungalow Rooms, Vista Villa Rooms, Rose Cottage, Writer's Bungalow , Ashok Vatika and The Cliff House which all house about 2-3 rooms each. The rooms are typically designed for two to four people, and one can choose a bungalow according to one's personal requirement.

Reservations can either be done online, or you can contact the Delhi Sales Office at +91 124 4666 166 / reservations@neemranahotels.com.
The property is surrounded with orchards; trees laden with a variety of seasonal fruit, making it an ideal spot for nature walks and bird watching. One can also opt for short treks and expeditions around Ramgarh. The 7 lakes of Uttarakhand are only about an hour's drive away from Ramgarh, so one can indulge in some sight-seeing around the town. The Malla Ramgarh village is only 7km from the bungalows where you can visit the market place and experience the local culture.
