🌿 About Your Host Welcome to our home in the heart of Uttarakhand — a land of sacred temples, gentle rivers, and mist-clad hills. Most stays around Nainital tend to be costly, but our retreat offers something rare: a genuine Himalayan experience that is both refined and affordable. Hosted by Sh. K. S. Randhawa, a war veteran and seasoned traveller, Ranibagh Riverview Retreat blends the spirit of the mountains with the warmth of home. Set on the banks of the Gola River, it’s a sanctuary for rest, reflection, and reconnection with nature. Our kitchen is pure vegetarian, inspired by local traditions and seasonal produce. During Navratra and other auspicious times, meals are prepared as per guests’ expectations — wholesome, fresh, and infused with hand-picked Himalayan herbs. With every stay, we strive to offer more than accommodation — a sense of peace, well-being, and belonging.
