Although I had long been bitten by wanderlust years ago, my itchy feet took me to one of India’s most sought-after tourist destinations - Ranikhet. My most memorable trip of my life was Ranikhet. Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, Ranikhet is a stunningly beautiful hill station in the state of Uttarakhand.
Despite my weakness to give a touch of discovery to almost every destination in the country, I had no idea how I missed the “Queen’s Meadow”, as Ranikhet is fondly known. It was a 3-day trip to such an amazing hill station.
So it was the year 2009 when I hopped on my favourite motorcycle with my best buddy. It took me a couple of hours to make it to the destination though I had to take few halts in between to regain my energy. You know riding a bike to several kilometres was not a piece of cake.
Why I chose Ranikhet to be my one and only destination?
There are several reasons supporting the fact why Ranikhet has long been catching the attention of holidaymakers from all over. In fact, it has been witnessing a major chunk of backpackers who are looking to take a plunge into the pool filled with the beauty of nature.
Here is a list of some reasons making Ranikhet one of the top-notch tourist destinations:
- Ancient Shrines
- Beautiful Hilly Terrains
- Striking Himalayan Regions
- Lush Greenery
I had the best time of my life admiring the natural beauty the lord has showered on me. Every morning I used to visit some of the best places on my bike with my best friend whom I had known for years. I could not get to know when time passed by as I used to spend my time admiring all that nature had in its store for backpackers like me.
Ranikhet is a tourist destination like no other. It has a plethora of things you can see and do that will make your holiday worth your memories. It is a perfect destination to enjoy with your loved ones.
