Nestled deep in the Ranikhet Army Cantonment, Chaubatia Garden is a serene fruit orchard known for its picturesque Himalayan views. Famous for its apple orchards, this government-managed garden stretches across gentle slopes, offering a peaceful retreat for nature lovers. Stores for freshly made jams, marmalades, and local natural products are waiting for you.
In case you're up for some adventure, take a guided trek to Bhalu Dam, a serene water reservoir located 6 km away, surrounded by oak and deodar forests. While the site has simple facilities, centres like cafes and washrooms are limited.
