Your Hamlet In The Hills At Daan-Khudi Camp, at Windsor Lodge Ranikhet
The hill station of Ranikhet
is one of the most scenic places in Uttarakhand.
It is also famous for its apple orchards and many other fruit gardens.
This hilltop heritage house is called Daan-Kudhi, the
highest lodging in the valley. Daan – Kudi, the mythical village house are near
Ranikhet. The base is a traditional stone of the Daan-kudi . Stay in full view of the valley is a great experience,
with a small stream flowing through the valley; the house is surrounded by
rolling green hills all around. In the centre of the valley is the only sun
temple in the Himalayas.
Here you can learn to Paraglide, ride mountain bikes, go
on short and long hikes to explore hidden architectural wonders or simply soak
in the sun in the mango courtyard of the 100 year old house which grows on you.
The open grounds and the courtyards stands above the hills are providing amusing
views of the hills, forests, and meadows.
This place is ideal for those who want to get away from
the noise and the crowds and steep themselves in laidback activities and local
culture. You can go cycling along the winding paths of the valley, explore the
narrow trails around, try your hand at organic farming, go on a night hike, or
if you're in the mood for something more active, go paragliding. For those who
love nature, you can go leopard tracking and bird watching. Every evening,
you'll return to this sturdy stone-hewn house, with wood carvings and
traditional paintings, and warm yourself by a bonfire. And in the mornings,
you'll awake under a patchwork quilt, with wide open windows gazing out upon
gorgeous mountain views.
