Ranikhet,
a peaceful hill station at an altitiude of 1829 metres,
was established as a cantonment town by the British Raj
in 1869 and is still an important army town. Always
a popular retreat, Ranikhet is a burgeoning tourist and
getaway destination drawing visitors from the plains who
come as much for the undulating greens of the golf
course as for the spectacular views of the snow-capped
Himalayan mountains.
