Ranikhet · Kumaon · Uttarakhand

Wake up to the Himalayas.

A tranquil mountain sanctuary stay hidden deep within pine and oak forests, offering panoramic views of lush green slopes. Experience slow mornings, warm hospitality, and starlit nights.

Welcome to Baaghvilla

A home in the hills,
named after the forest's quiet king.

Baagh — the Kumaoni word for the big cat that still roams these deodar and pine forests — is our tribute to the wild heart of Ranikhet. Tucked away from the bustle of the Mall Road, Baaghvilla is a small, family-run retreat where every room opens to mountain air and birdsong.

Spend your days walking through the cantonment's tree-lined lanes, visiting the apple orchards of Chaubatia, or simply doing nothing on the sun deck with a cup of pahadi chai. As evening falls, gather around the bonfire for local stories and a hearty Kumaoni dinner.

  • Panoramic Himalayan views on clear days
  • Home-cooked vegetarian & non-veg Kumaoni meals
  • Hosts who know every trail and temple nearby
