AAMARI RESORTS IN RAMGARH near Nainital is easily the best resort in the area. It is a perfect weekend break from Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon. 1 hour away from the touristy Nainital, Aamari resort at Ramgarh is a perfect abode away from the city life. When I planned a trip to Nainital, Ramgarh and Mukteshwar, I decided to make Aamari resort my base and explore the gems nearby.
ACTIVITIES AT AAMARI RESORTS, RAMGARH:
I spent the last day just enjoying the property. There is so much you can do in the property. I walked around the property for some-time followed by a stroll on the road appreciating the fairy-tailish pink, white and red flowers which dominated the natural landscape. The rest of the day was spent at leisure in reading (No, I didn’t switch on the TV), enjoying the delicious food, siesta, indulging in sauna bath, the works!
On the first day, I booked a cab to Nainital and explored the usual and the offbeat places to see in Nainital, especially the houses where legendary Jim Corbett stayed. The second day was spent exploring the offbeat gem that Ramgarh is. I hiked near the hills of the resort to arrive at the ruins of a house where Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore lived for some years and wrote part of his famous work Geetanjali. Just ahead of the Malla Ramgarh Bazaar, I walked at an adjacent pathway for some time and visited the house of noted Hindi writer Mahadevi Verma. There sure is something about hills and world famous writers! Aamari resort is blessed to be built on a hill where verses of Geetanjali still soulfully echo.
THE ROOMS AT AAMARI RESORTS, RAMGARH:
I stayed in room number 104. The moment I entered the room, I was awed by the sheer size of the room. The pool facing rooms at Aamari are huge and so is the King size bed. The mattress used in the bed is fluffy and comfortable. That, combined with a lovely weather ensured I get sound sleep during my 3 days stay in the resort. On one side of the bed was electric kettle and teabags, creamer etc placed atop a rack. On the other side is a writing table equipped with lights. The room comes with many lighting options to suit your mood.
There is a sofa, chair and central table at the sitting area next to a giant window which overlooks the pool, the property, glimpses of road and the valley along-with the mighty Himalayan ranges. This was my favourite part of the room. Just as you enter the room, there is a wardrobe with tall mirrors on the left hand side. A little ahead is the washroom. Again, the size and layout of the washroom is impressive. It also comes with different lighting option to suit the mood. (I preferred the dim lights). The wash basin area is large, leaving enough space for dressing up. It was a pleasure to have a hot shower in the well stocked glass cubicle. The shower head was large and the water pressure was just right. The washroom was stocked with the usual suspects- soaps, shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer.
THE AAMARI RESORT, RAMGARH PROPERTY:
I arrived late night in the first week of March via a cab and slept in the comfortable bed post dinner. The next morning, I opened the huge window of my room and was delighted with the sight of snow capped Himalayan Ranges such as the mighty Trishul, Nanda Devi, Panchacholi and Nandakot. I chose to have the breakfast in my room by the window so that I could enjoy the stunning views with my meals. The room is equipped with mirrors at the entrance and at the writing table.
Just outside the room is a lovely sit out area where I enjoyed reading a book in the swing fashioned out of cane. As darkness fell, I used to sit here having conversations around bonfires. The property is sprawling. Its 22 luxurious rooms are spread across multi level. Some rooms are garden facing while some are pool facing. There is a set of room near the car parking which is accessed by a car and thus is ideal for elderly who might find it difficult to walk up the stairs to reach other rooms.
The property is landscaped thoughtfully. Colorful Beer and Vodka bottles hang from a tree near the reception area. The poolside area comes with 2 large round cane chairs which can seat many people. There is a sit out area opposite the pool where I enjoyed Hot Chocolate during nights. The large banquet hall and the spacious indoor restaurant are ideal for large groups. You will notice the theme of a Cruise Ship throughout the property including the restaurant.
THE DAZZLING SKY VILLA AT AAMARI RESORT, RAMGARH:
The 3 bedroom Sky Villa near the sunset point took my breath away. It is a little away from the main property of Aamari Resorts. Sky Villa is a separate bungalow managed by the property. It overlooks the gorgeous valley below and is accessed by either vehicle or a long walk. It has 3 bedrooms on 2 stories, outdoor sit out areas, courtyards, indoor sit out areas with top to bottom glass walls and a well equipped kitchen. It is a great place to spend time with family or a group of friends. I was awestruck with the villa and its location. It is close to the sunset point from where I had an amazing view of the distant mountains and valley bathed in golden light. A small hike from here takes you to a viewpoint from where you can have a bird’s eye view of the famous lake in Bhimtal.
THE FOOD AT AAMARI RESORTS, RAMGARH:
During my 3 days stay at Aamari Resorts, I ordered a variety of food. Tamara Khaas Kofta (Pistachio and Khoya Stuffed Dumplings in rich Tomato gravy) and Paneer Kali Mirch were my absolute favourite. I also enjoyed the pasta in red sauce. On most days I had hearty breakfast of Aaaloo ka Paratha, Gobhi ka paratha and Poori-Bhaji, all of them done to perfection.
That said, the Paneer Butter Masala could have been better. The vegetables au gratin was good except the distracting sweet chunks of pineapple at times. You may want to tell them to skip the pineapple if you choose to order it. The quantity of the food is good and one entrée is sufficient for 2 people.
OTHER FACILITIES AAMARI RESORTS, RAMGARH:
There are myriad activities one can do at Aamari Resorts. There are many trekking trails which in house experts take you to. These are easy routes. They also offer outdoor picnic options. One can also indulge in soft adventure sports like rappelling, rock climbing, archery, spider nest, flying fox and valley crossing. These are monitored and organized by in house experts. For the less adventurous kinds, indoor games like carom, chess is available. You can also play basketball, badminton and football. Just above the reception is the facility for steam and sauna bath. You can also check out the nearby adobe houses, Gagar Temple, Fossil remains on the hills etc.
RESPONSIBLE LUXURY AAMARI RESORTS, RAMGARH:
I love the luxury properties like Aamari resorts which accept my request to replace the bottled mineral water with filtered water. It’s my little way to say no to generation of plastic. I also make it a point to reuse the towels the next day. If all of us start doing it, it helps us save a lot of water. I am glad Aamari Resorts promote that habit. I was impressed to know that Aamari Resorts hire local talent whom they train and nurture from scratch. Collective travel to reduce transport, trekking and walking are some of the means by which they strive to cut the carbon footprint of travelers.

HOW TO REACH AAMARI RESORTS, RAMGARH:
Just before the Malla Ramgarh Bazaar on the main Bhowali-Mukteshwar road, the Aamari Resorts is unmissable. Nestled in the Himalayan Heights Complex towards the right hand side of the road, it stands out thanks to its grandeur. It is one hour away from Nainital. You can reach Nainital by bus. From Nainital, the taxi costs Rs.500 and takes 1 hour to reach. In case you reach in night, make sure you hire a reliable taxi. Chances are that after 7 or 8 p.m., on some stretches, you will be the only one driving on that road. Try to reach before sun set. The cab driver charged me Rs.700 at 8 p.m. (Rs.200 from the usual Rs.500)

What a lovely spot for an adventure! I love trying new foods when we travel and have not tried Paneer Butter Marsala….buttered anything sounds delicious as a rule, but buttered pineapple? Hmmm….. I night have to take your suggestion and have mine without! Although…sometimes hubby and I order different things just to try them all out so we might order it both ways.
I’d love to stay in that sky villa 🙂
As someone who lives in a big city, I can absolutely appreciate a city break! The views around this hotel sound incredible, and the food as well! I love that there are some adventure activities as well and not just sitting back and relaxing (although nothing wrong with that)!
Hey Abhinav,
You know what makes any resort so alluring – your writing. You make it look so beautiful by painting beautiful words. The property really looks good. And I love your gesture of replacing the bottled mineral water with filtered water.
Kudos to you.
Now I can’t wait to visit Amari 🙂
The Amari Resort sounds like a beautiful property. I could imagine spending a long weekend writing there while watching the snow fall on the Himalayas. It sounds like a little slice of heaven indeed.
Amari resort looks very nice for a break away from Delhi. How neat to hike up to some world famous writers’ homes. The Sky Villa looks like a beautiful choice for a larger party and with that view, who wouldn’t want to stay there! Thanks for sharing.
Firstly, fired you for travelling too much? Who does that?!! I definitely worked out in your favour, didn’t it? 🙂 This resort looks very lovely. I always feel conflicted on large accommodations, do I hang out in the room or explore as much as possible.
Good post and great pictures. The Aamari Resort looks lovely. I enjoyed your writing also. I have read a few posts by Indian writers lately and I am impressed by how well Indians can read and write English. I also read your bio page and thought that was great too. I am off to trek the EBC in October this year. If I ever find myself in Ramgarh, I shall be sure to check out the Aamari Resort. Thanks for sharing!
That looks like a very Nice resort. I love it when i get a large room during my travels. A Perfect place to relax after a long day out and about without feeling too claustrophobic. Add th beautiful surroundings and a swimming pool and the resort feels like a Perfect place to stay for a relaxing trip
