Ranikhet Tour Package

Sometimes we travel to tick off places from a list, and sometimes… a place quietly writes itself into your heart. That’s what happened when I booked a Ranikhet tour package.

I thought it would just be another hill station trip, but Ranikhet turned out to be different. It wasn’t only about sightseeing — it was about slowing down, breathing deeper, and feeling life in its simplest form.

This is not a guidebook. This is my personal story of how I experienced Ranikhet, day by day.

Day 1: Delhi → Bhimtal – The Stillness of Water

We left Delhi before sunrise, carrying excitement, snacks, and that restless energy you always feel at the start of a trip. By afternoon, we reached Bhimtal.

The lake looked calm, surrounded by green hills that stood like gentle guards. In the evening, I went boating. The water moved slowly, the oar slicing through silence. I didn’t talk much; I just watched the mountains mirrored in the lake. Sometimes nature doesn’t ask you to do anything — it only asks you to be present.

Day 2: Bhimtal → Naukuchiatal → Kainchi Dham → Ranikhet

Morning began at Naukuchiatal, the “lake of nine corners.” People were trying kayaking, zorbing, and paragliding. I chose paragliding — and when I was up in the air, looking down at the shining lake, I understood what freedom must feel like.

Next was Kainchi Dham, the ashram of Neem Karoli Baba. The temple had no noise, no rush. Just peace. People say whoever comes here is called by the place itself. I don’t know if that’s true, but I do know that I felt lighter when I walked out.

By evening, we reached Ranikhet. The sun was setting, turning the sky into soft pink and orange layers. I sat with a hot cup of tea, looking out at the pine forests, and thought — this was already worth the journey.

Day 3: Exploring Ranikhet – Where Time Walks Slowly

If I had to describe this day in one word, it would be “slow.” And that’s what made it beautiful.

We began at Chaubatia Gardens, where apple and peach orchards stretched endlessly. Walking among those trees felt like walking through nature’s own kitchen.

At Jhula Devi Temple, thousands of bells hung by devotees rang softly in the wind. It wasn’t noise — it was music.

Then came Bhalu Dam, where we sat quietly, listening to birds and the silence of water. At Upat Golf Course, the Himalayas stood in the distance, as if keeping watch.

Evening brought us to Ranikhet’s bazaar. Small shops, friendly faces, and the smell of hot momos. I ended the day with a Kumaoni thali — simple food, but cooked with love. That night, I slept with a full heart.

Day 4: Ranikhet → Delhi – Carrying More Than Memories

Leaving was harder than I thought. The car moved, but my eyes kept looking back at the pine forests. Trips usually end when you come home, but this one stayed with me. Even now, when city life gets heavy, I close my eyes and think of Ranikhet’s silence.
