Gandhi Chowk is Ranikhet’s busy town square—shopfronts, local markets, rickshaws and occasional Himalayan ridge views. Shoot street scenes, vendor portraits, and backlit timber/colonial-style buildings at golden hour. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm light and long shadows; clear winter mornings give distant mountain lines. Accessible by NH109 with limited roadside parking—arrive early on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds. Respect local customs and ask before photographing people.
