Ramgarh - The mountains are calling and I must GO!!!


I have been to Ramgarh a couple of times earlier and everytime I go, the love for the place deepens. There's nothing much to do in Ramgarh except for the long beautiful walks. We stayed in Neemrana's Ramgarh Bungalows. 

I somehow love their properties. They call their properties "NON HOTEL HOTELS". There are no T.Vs in the rooms and no telephones either. For us, this is a perfect recipe for a peaceful holiday. 




Ashok Vatika, Neemrana Ramgarh Bunglows



Ramgarh is a small beautiful hill station ahead of Nainital on way to Mukteshwar. The air is fresh, the weather is lovely, the crowd is less and you get unobstructed view of the snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas. 


          Green structure is AshokVatika

The map shows you the location of Ramgparh. Ramgarh is around 360 Kms fromP Gurgaon and if you leave early around 4 am, you should reach your destination by lunch. 














Breakfast With A View


We love eating out in the sun and with views like this who would want to sit indoors!!!






Blue Room


Our room had a huge bed and beautiful setting. Ashok Vatika has four room:-
1. Blue
2  Green
3. Yellow
4. Pink

We advise you to book either Blue or Green rooms as they have beautiful views of the mountains and the valleys. We had booked Yellow room but upgraded ourselves to Blue as it was available and much nicer.   



We clicked the above photo while one of our beautiful walks.



Sitout Area



The property has some beautiful sitout points which are ideal if you love to read. 





Out for a short drive


It rained quite a bit and we decided to head out for a small drive in the mountains. There were clouds all around as we drove half way upto Mukteshwar.




He invited himself for the drive!!!










As mentioned earlier there are few beautiful walks around the property which are worth exploring. You walk thru the villages and fruit orchids. 

Other properties in Ramgarh are:-

1. Welcome Heritage Taradale Cottage 
2. Seclude Ramgarh 
3. Cedar Lodge

Hill Fort Kesroli, Alwar- One of the many weekends!!!


It's a Neemrana Group property. A typical Non-Hotel Hotel, as they call it. I have been to this place 4-5 times till now. It's a 14th century fort converted into a Non-Hotel Hotel. It is said that it is India's one of the oldest buildings which is still livable. The place has not much to offer to the people who love to party, roam around or like lot of activities when they travel. For me it's one of the places where I connect with myself, where I love to sit on the roof of the fort doing nothing or love to read all day. The place has a certain kind of ambience that calls you back. Another thing that I like about the place is a 14th century temple constructed by the same King in a nearby village. You can take the cycle from the fort and cycle your way thru the green feilds. Early morning is the best to this as you can be part of the first aarti.

Lot of people I have met said that there is nothing much to do and no activities around but probably that's the only reason I go to this place!!!!

Road distance from Gurgaon to Kesroli is 140 Kms. Its a good drive all the way.
