The Windsor Lodge & Hotel is a fusion of modern comforts and colonial splendour.
It was built as a quaint hunting lodge in 1909 in the midst of a forest that
was then rich in wild life. Over the years, it transformed itself into a favourite
retreat of the British elite and Indian feudal class looking for a pleasant
sojourn close to nature.
The Windsor Lodge & Hotel today comprises three restored buildings which
seamlessly mingle in the backdrop of snowcapped peaks and thick forest of pine
and cedar. Perched on a hillock, it commands a 360 degree view, and overlooks
the nine hole Ranikhet Golf Course on one side and has a stunning view of the
Himalayan peaks, such as Nanda Devi, Trishul, PanchChuli (on clear days), on
the other.
This heritage property is situated in Kalika Estate, village Dadgallia, just
outside the Ranikhet cantonment limits. It is connected by an all weather 300
meter long pucca road, which branches off from the Ranikhet-Almora highway.
