RANIKHET...'THE QUEEN'S MEADOWS'
Nestled into the breathtaking mountains of Almora is the small town of Ranikhet , once the abode of Rani padmini ,wife of the katyuri ruler Raja Sudhardev and hence the epithet. The drive from dehradun is around 340 kms ,winding through the stunning view of kumaon region of uttarakhand . Throughout my travels in uttarakhand, the pristine beauty of virgin forests and colossal mountains have never failed to amaze me and every hill station or town here boasts of its own rustic charm . KMVN guesthouse In Ranikhet ,we stayed at the guest house of Kumaon mandal vikas nigam , situated at mall road next to the forest rest house. The guesthouse is aptly located ,spread over a large area in the backdrop of thick green forests with a mesmerizing view of the mountain peaks .One can enjoy a quiet solitude among sounds of nature with no noise...
