Ranikhet – the unexplored paradise
The hotel that we stayed in was called as Rosemount,a lovely old heritage property with old world charm, the splendour reminds you of an era gone by. It is known to be as old as year 1900, elaborate window frames and the large rooms have preserved the pristine glory in its true form even today. The manager told that one could see beautiful Nanda Devi and entire range from rooms and the garden. Well it was late evening , we could see nothing and rather slept early. Ahem Ahem !! Next day in the morning, I opened the windows to majestic Nanda Devi and other snow covered peaks towering over! It was a view to remember.
