Windsor
Lodge was built as a quaint hunting lodge in 1909
at Kalika Estate on the outskirts of Ranikhet cantonment.
Most of Ranikhet’s Sprawling bungalows were built
and owned by shah family in late 19th century. The
patriarch of the family Rai Sahib Harkison Lall Shah
also established Kalika Estate, a ten acre property
abundant with oak and pine amidst breathtaking scenery
in the midst of what was then a forest rich in wild
life. The estate was beautifully landscaped with fruit
trees including apple, apricot, peach, pear and plum.
Windsor Lodge was the first building here; in subsequent
years a few more were added including Moti Mahal in
the 1920s.
Located
at a vantage point atop a wooded hillock, Windsor
Lodge commands spectacular views of snow – capped
Himalayan peaks, thick oak, pine and cedar forests
and Ranikhet golf course. Over time, it transformed
into a favorite retreat of British elite and Indian
royalty seeking a pleasant country sojourn. However,
a devastating fire damaged the property in 1948. And
it remained a neglected ruin for the following half
country.
It
wasn’t until 1999 that restoration of Windsor Lodge
began. Utmost care was taken to retain the Original
architecture not only of the Lodge itself but also
its outhouse and adjacent building including Moti
Mahal, the country residence of Rai Sahib Moti Lall
Shah, younger brother of Rai Sahib Harkison Lall Shah.
The painstaking renovation took over five years to
complete. Today, the Windsor Lodge complex comprises
seven building, lovingly restored to retain their
colonial charm.Liberal use of timber and stone brought
alive their vibrant antiquity. Late 19th and early
20th century styles and designs have been synergized
with modern day amenities and safety requirements.
The interiors are Lavishly appointed and furnished.
Extensive landscaping and fruit – tree plantation
has been undertaken. Windsor Lodge has been resurrected
one again! Welcome to Windsor Lodge – the pride of
Kumaon !
