Staying in Ramgarh
Ramgarh is a small hill town in Kumaon, quieter than its neighbour Nainital, and known as the Fruit Bowl of Kumaon for its orchards of apples, peaches, plums and apricots. It is associated with Rabindranath Tagore, who is said to have composed some of his works here, and it has temples including the Ramgarh Temple and the Mukteshwar Temple. The hills around it offer trekking trails and nature walks, and the local culture blends Kumaoni traditions with colonial influences.
These hotels sit in and around the central area, Taradale, Willows, Mukteshwar Road and Hartola, all within the Ramgarh area. Seclude Ramgarh Willows is 0.2 km from the centre, StayVista at Bird's Crest Valley Villa 0.3 km and Rosastays Vatika Mountain View 0.4 km, with Clarks Exotica Resort Ramgarh Mukteshwar at 1.0 km.
