Ranikhet is a hill station and cantonment town in Almora district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is the home for the Military Hospital, Kumaon Regiment and Naga Regiment and is maintained by the Indian Army. Ranikhet is at an altitude of 1,869 metres above sea level and within sight of the western pea.
Ranikhet, which means Queen's meadow in hindi, gets its name from a local legend, which states that it was here, that Raja Sudhardev won the heart of his queen, Rani Padmini, who subsequently chose the area for her residence, giving it the name, Ranikhet,though no palace exists in the area.
Ranikhet had been under Nepalese rule, and the Kumaonis won it under the leadership of their able General Kashi Nath Adhikari – after whom the small town of Kashipur was named (which at one point of time was the gateway to the hills and is now an educational and institutional hub) with the help of Britishers at around 1816 and is a part of India now.
