Chaubattia Garden, Ranikhet, APPLE GARDEN CHAUBATTIA


It is an exclusive apple garden mixed with trees of plum, apricot, peach, pear, chestnut etc spread over an area of 600 acres.

It is said that it is the first apple garden in India, grounded and cultivated by the Britishers. Now it is the famous apple garden for delicious varieties of apples.

Stair type cultivation of apple, facing the great Himalayan Peaks gives the message of peace and harmony of cultivation culture.
