Holm Farm Heritage : Dream Himalayan home-stay at Ranikhet in Kumaon, Uttarakhand

Himanshu Upadhyaya's Holm Farm Heritage in Ranikhet must rank as one of the finest Himalayan home-stay destinationss, so head there on your next visit!
A lovely old restored British home around Ranikhet cantonment town in Kumaon. This period home is set among fields and orchards, with a badminton court, thick pine and cedar or deodar forest nearby and lots of mountain paths for long forest walks. Now that's truly a dream home in the middle Himalaya!
Holm Farm Heritage, a grand old Brit bungalow built as a Retreat for English Officers (just a 10 minute drive away from the picturesque hill station Ranikhet), was now a heritage hotel, and much to my thrill, I got to stay in the very same historical Edward Suite. "Even Jawaharlal Nehru has stayed here!" declared my genial host. (Er, on some other occasion, I presumed, and not when Lady E had her beauty sleep here…)
Wandering about the charming old home with its colonial furniture and generous spaces, Himanshu Upadhyaya, a national level cricketer-turned-hotel owner, showed me pictures of the Mountbattens and Nehru in the museum-like Lounge, and I heard interesting stories of their visits here.
This 150 year old Retreat was acquired by Mohan Upadhyaya (a close associate of Pandit Nehru) soon after Independence, and now Himanshu runs his inheritance with much pride, giving travellers a dollop of laid-back Raj-style living, with historical anecdotes to bring the place alive.
Back in my room, I walked barefoot across the pine-wood floor that had been touched by so many celebrity feet…to gaze again at a view that was a magnificent treat for my tired city-eyes.
But there was someone already at the window, sitting and gazing at his favourite sight in the world. Like me, eager to lap it all in with his tongue hanging out. Himanshu's delightful pet labrador, Bongo!
