A rural experience close to the capital city on the hills in the middle of wilderness is the best way to describe Ramalaya cottage - Dehradun. Bask in the glory on the foothills of the himalayas and get a taste of the rural laid back life. Sitting in the veranda with your morning and evening cup of tea you can endlessly gaze at the mountains that are so close that you feel you can extend your arm and touch them, or just step out and enter the most beautiful stately saal forests for your walks and watch the abundant bird life.
