Open Terrace in Nainital
open-terrace-restaurant-hotel-cloud-inn-ramgarh.webp

The whole property, and nobody else on it.

Weddings and celebrations in Ramgarh. Eighteen rooms, an open terrace above the valley, and a kitchen that is the reason people come back.

What this is

Not a banquet hall with rooms attached.

Eighteen rooms is the whole property. When you book it, there are no other guests, no strangers at breakfast, and no second function running in the next lawn. For a family that wants the people they love in one place for three days, that is the entire point.

It also means we are honest about scale. We are built for intimate weddings and family celebrations rather than a thousand guest reception. If you are planning something larger we will say so on the first call rather than the week before.

The kitchen is pure vegetarian and stays that way for every function. For a great many families that is exactly what they were looking for. For some it is not, and it is better to know now.

Two ways to use the property

A full celebration, or a single day.

Weddings and multi day celebrations

The whole property for two, three or more nights. The sangeet music night, the mehendi henna afternoon, the ceremony and the reception, with your guests staying on site through all of it. Rooms, meals, decor, music and ceremony arrangements handled together.

Day functions

Engagement, roka, mundan, a birthday, an anniversary lunch, or a corporate offsite. No overnight stay needed. Use the terrace and the indoor dining room for the day and drive home the same evening.

The terrace is the room everyone remembers. It faces the valley, it takes the evening light, and in the monsoon the cloud arrives over the railing during dinner.

The indoor dining room is what makes the terrace safe to plan around. If the weather turns, the function moves inside rather than being cancelled.

What we arrange

Services you can add to any function.

Tell us which of these you want and we will quote the whole thing as one number rather than sending you to eleven different vendors.

Stage and mandap flower decoration
Entrance gate decoration
Table and venue floral centrepieces
Tentage, shamiana or German hangar
Generator for the duration
DJ with sound and lighting
Dhol, band and baraat setup
Sangeet or orchestra troupe
Ambient and fairy lighting
Welcome drinks and live food counters
Pandit ji and ceremony arrangements
Rooms for the whole party

This list grows. If there is something on your plan that is not here, ask. Most of the time the answer is yes.

Catering

Three menu levels, then we tailor it.

Silver

Built for smaller gatherings. A complete vegetarian meal without the extra counters.

Gold

For the main functions, where the guest count is high and the meal is part of the occasion.

Platinum

The fullest version, with live counters and the widest spread.

Every menu is finalised with you before the event rather than picked off a card. Buffet meals are charged per plate and the level is agreed in the quotation. We will send the full dish list for whichever level you are considering.

Enquire

Tell us the dates and we will call you.

We do not publish event prices, because no two functions are the same and quoting a number before we understand yours would be guesswork. Send this and we will come back to you with a real quotation, on the phone or in person, whichever you prefer.

Already put something together — a rough plan, a guest list, a picture of something you liked? Send this enquiry, then send the file on WhatsApp to +91 97119 00500. Somebody will have it in front of them when they call you back.

This reaches the office by email and on WhatsApp at the same time, so it cannot be missed. We reply within one working day, usually the same day. Nothing is confirmed until we have spoken.

Prefer to talk first? Call +91 97119 00500 or message us on WhatsApp.

Before you plan around us

Four things to know now.

Eighteen rooms

That is the ceiling for guests sleeping on site. Larger parties stay nearby and we help arrange it, but we will tell you the number honestly at the start.

No lift

The property runs across floors. Plan for elderly guests accordingly and tell us in advance so we can put them on the lower floors.

Pure vegetarian

The kitchen does not change for events. If your function needs otherwise, we are not the right venue and we would rather say so early.

Hill roads, hill weather and hill logistics are real. We have run this property through fourteen full occupancy days and every one of them taught us something. We plan for what can go wrong, out loud, with you.

The spaces

Where the function actually happens.

Measured, not described. These are the same figures the kitchen and the events desk work from, so what you are told on the telephone matches what is written here.

The Lawn

4,000 sq ft · open to the sky · no pillars

Four thousand square feet of level open deck on a hillside that offers very little level ground, ringed by the pear and peach orchard with the valley falling away beyond it. Room for a mandap, a buffet and a dance floor without any of them crowding the others.

How many it seats
Ceremony seating (facing mandap)200 Chairs facing the mandap
Seated dinner (round tables)130 Tables of 10
Floating (standing, buffet)250 Reception, standing

Green room: Guest room, two minutes' walk · Music until 22:00 outdoors, then move indoors

Valley Terrace

1,550 sq ft · covered

Sixty-two feet of covered terrace looking straight down the Kumaon valley — forested ridges, cloud moving through them, and nothing built between you and the view. Roofed, so the weather is somebody else's problem.

How many it seats
Seated dinner (round tables)60 1.5x the indoor restaurant
Theatre95
Floating (standing, buffet)85

Green room: Guest room one floor up · Music until 22:00

Cloud Inn Restaurant

covered · no pillars

The indoor dining room — wood-beamed ceiling, warm pendant lighting, and the room the whole property retreats into when the weather turns. Ten tables, and the natural home for a small family function.

How many it seats
Seated dinner (long tables)40 As it stands — 10 tables of 4
Theatre55 Tables cleared
Floating (standing, buffet)60 Tables cleared

Green room: Guest room on the same floor, by arrangement · Music until 22:00, indoors
