Noida to Ranikhet Tempo Traveller

Noida to Ranikhet Tempo Traveller – A Calm Kumaon Holiday for the Whole Group

Ranikhet, meaning “Queen’s Meadow,” is a peaceful cantonment hill town in the Almora district of Uttarakhand, set at around 1,869 m. Pine, oak and deodar forests surround the town, and on clear days the snow peaks of the Kumaon Himalaya, including Nanda Devi and Trishul, glow on the horizon. Run largely by the Indian Army’s Kumaon Regiment, Ranikhet is clean, quiet and unhurried, and it is far less crowded than Nainital or Mussoorie.

The town is famous for its orchards at Chaubatia, the Jhula Devi Temple with its thousands of bells, the Ranikhet Golf Course at Upat, and the Kumaon Regimental Centre Museum. Ranikhet also works as a base for Almora, Kausani, Binsar and Dunagiri, making it a good choice for longer Kumaon circuits that include temples, viewpoints and village walks.

The easiest way to experience it together is to book a Noida to Ranikhet tempo traveller from Manvi Tempo Traveller. Our tempo traveller on rent in Noida is built for families, friends’ groups and corporate offsites.
