In continuation with the first part of my Uttarakhand travel, bringing part 2 for you. If you have not yet read the first part, please find the link here
Nainital-Ranikhet : Late morning we started for Ranikhet and decided to do the local sightseeing on that day itself.
Places Visited-Chaubatia Gardens-famous for its orchards of apples, peaches and many more, Haidakhan Temple-Built by Haidakhan who was believed to be the incarnation of Shiva, Jhula Devi Temple-You can see a huge number of bells here as devotees offer a bell when their wishes are fulfilled, Upat Golf Course-A beautifully maintained golf course believed to be one of the highest in Asia.
Our stay in Ranikhet is my best stay till date. Bay Berry By One Earth is till date the most exquisite and unique place I have stayed in. The rooms are in the form of a luxury tent with an excellent view of the mountains amidst the pine trees. The only drawback is that it is situated after a good walk downhill , and naturally uphill when you leave the place so maybe a problem for some but the stay makes the efforts worthwhile.
Ranikhet-Corbett : We did not want to leave the place as everything was just so beautiful and we were regretting staying there only for one night. Anyways, we left after a superb lunch for our last destination : Jim Corbett. The weather in Corbett was opposite of what we got in Nainital and Ranikhet and good for us, the hotel had a swimming pool.
We had our safari next day early morning. There are different zones for safari in the reserve- Bijrani, Jhirna, Dhela, Durga Devi, Garjia, Sitabani, Dhikala. We had chosen the Bijrani zone as this was the second best after Dhikala and had already got our entry permit with the help of our guide. Unfortunately, we could not spot any tigers but we did see some deers and elephants and the safari felt quite adventurous.
Corbett-Delhi-Kolkata : Next day we started for Delhi and then back home Kolkata taking with us some amazing memories and stories.
