Around Ranikhet Wayfarer Solitaire Uttaranchal : Wayfarer Solitaire is eleven kilometers away from Ranikhet town and is thus far removed from the crowded mall. Rows and rows of pine and a sparsely populated village are what makes the surrounding area ideal for long walks into the wilderness.

For people who wish to venture out on day excursions visits to Chaubatia gardens (15 kms), the lake at Bhaludam (18 kms), the plateau of Upat (8 km) that has a nine-hole golf course ringed by tall pines can be pleasant.
For people who have an extra day to spare a trip to the temple complex at Jageshwar is strongly recommended.

Jageshwar is a temple complex dating back to the eighth and ninth centuries A.D. comprising over 150 shrines in the Shikhara style, and set in a narrow riverine valley enveloped by tall deodars. Counted amongst the twelve Jyotirlingas, Jageshwar is regarded as an important Shaivite pilgrim centre. The serpentine road to Jageshwar is flanked by tall deodar trees, which appear to be like peaceful hermits meditating in the calm and serene environs.

Season Ranikhet Wayfarer Solitaire Uttaranchal : Wayfarer Solitaire is a round the year resort. In summer it has the ideal climate for a quick getaway, with pleasant days and cool nights. During monsoon months the surrounding area is all lush green and just after a heavy shower the smell of pine is all pervading. Autumn brings splashes of rust and vermillion hues to the trees while the sighting of the Himalayas is almost picture perfect. In winter the temperature ranges between 0oC to 15oC and Wayfarer Solitaire remains fully operational.


Journey from Ranikhet to Vijaypur : Driving from Ranikhet to Vijaypur provides ample opportunity to feast on several contrasting views like that of the dense pines opening out into a mosaic of fields in the Garur Valley from the road leading from Kausani. The valley is a deep bowl with the Gomti River flowing through it past Baijnath, the main temple in the region. Baijnath has ancient temples dedicated to Shiva, Parvati, Ganesh, Kuber, Surya & Brahma. The oldest shrine in this complex was built in the 12th Century. Priceless stone carvings can be seen in the Baijnath Museum next to the temples. Map Kumaon - Ranikhet >>>
