1987 - Pan Singh was the chowkidar. He is the one who was the chowkidar when Corbett stayed here and shot the Muktesar maneater.
Pan Singh is there in the photo with Corbett and the dead tiger with others.!992 - Jagat Singh, Pan Singh's eldest son was the chowkidar. 2014 October - the unrelated Gopal Singh, is the chowkidar. Well,those were the 3 chowkidars in my 3 stays at this Inspection Bungalow - all very fine Kumaonis, all gracious cooks, gardeners and service minded, all a pleasure to chat with.
But I dare say that Gopal Singh is the best cook of the lot - ooh! The huge, sumptuous stuffed Uttaranchali alu-parathas for breakfasts - still drool about them. But the garden was somewhat in better hands in Pan Singh's time. Internally, the maintenance is better in Gopal Singh's hands. The place is still as beautiful as ever; large rooms, great views, reasonably well maintained lawns and gardens, wholesome food - I thought there was more greenery around this time in the neighbourhood - mainly because most of the neighbourhood land is IVRI owned who would not peddle it to the land mafias.
Well the water heating system was pretty primitive in 1987 and 1992 with primitive wood burners - now there are large geysers. This vantage point in the Kumaon hills is so pretty that I normally don't do too many things except simple walks and strolls - to Chauli Ki Jaali, to the Shiv Mandir, to the IVRI campus, to the orchards below, to the tea shop in the market. No elaborate excursions to Nainital or Almora for me - because no place is as pretty and wholesome as this point. Well, while reaching this bungalow from Kathgodam railway station for our two nights stay, we did amble around Nakhuchiyatal and Bhimtal, some in a boat, but there are prettier lakes in the world (even in India).

But we did venture out to one place which is interesting and nice. We went to nearby Ramgarh - firstly to visit Hindi literature doyen Mahadevi Vermas' bungalow (now a museum) where she used to bring her pet dogs from time to time and opened her house to myriad literary activities; and secondly, to visit the spot from where Tagore composed many of his Geetanjali poems. At the turn of the twentieth century, Ramgarh had become an important literary point in India. Ramgarh's beauty used to inspire many of these poets.
We spent about an hour at Mahadevi Verma's bungalow and then proceeded towards where Tagore spent some time. Tagore actually stayed at least twice around Ramgarh, the first time where we were headed for and the second time in a bungalow which belongs to the Neemrana group now.
Where we were headed, Tagore brought his young son and daughter - daughter had advanced tuberculosis an Tagore thought that the Ramgarh air would be good for her. In fact, Tagore lost his daughter to the illness soon after. A friendly soul showed us the approximate direction to Tagore's place as said that it was about 2 kms away. He was wrong - typical hill metrics - we walked for three and a half kilometers on ledges and orchards and still did not reach his place - by the way, nothing remains at this place in terms of a building any longer. We asked a friendly farmer, if he knew where Tagore composed some of the Geetanjali poetry.
`Who -Tagore, Geetanjali - no sir!' But he knew of the existence of a place called `Tiger Top'. We took another friendly young farmer who decided to guide us (amongst sweet peas and French beans bushes - the peas were very sweet indeed) - until we reached what he termed as the `Geetanjali fields' - it is a part of the surrounding orchard. Some of the Geetanjali poetry was conceived and drafted here. Beautiful vistas; well until one of our group fell off a small ledge and twisted his ankle. We had to call off our walk at this point. One of our group members knew a few Tagore songs - his beautiful bass renditions of some of these songs, in a wild and spectacular setting as we walked, will be remembered for a long time.
It was only two days later, that I suddenly had a brainwave - the `Tiger top' that the earlier farmer had mentioned is nothing but a corruption of the words `Tagore top'. Now it made sense. But a question has lingered in my mind. How did the elderly Tagore manage to walk so much on a regular basis - there is nothing beyond Pagdandis or `footmark hill trails' here - and that too with a convalescing small daughter. Being an ardent admirer of Jim Corbett’s hunting expeditions since my childhood, I knew the jungle, below Room No. 3 of the PWD guest house at Mukteshwar where he lived when he was on his mission to kill the man eater tigress, as the lines on my palm.
He was a hunter par excellence and even greater hunting story teller. For the uninitiated readers I could tell just one thing about his hunting skills. There were number of local sportsmen at Mukteshwar who were keen on bagging the man eater tigress – who was operating right on their doorsteps - but couldn’t, even after she killed twenty four human beings.
The same tigress was shot down by Jim within seventy two hours of his leaving and returning home at Naini Tal. Pl remember his transport was his two sturdy legs and the one way distance between his home and Mukteshwar was 60 km and he had to trudge on hilly terrain eighty five years ago. To appreciate his story telling prowess pl read his following two sentences: At first the tigress took no notice, but when the woman cut the grass right up to where she was lying, the tigress struck once, the blow crushing the woman’s skull. Death was instantaneous, for, when found the following day, she was gasping her sickle with one hand and holding a tuft of grass, she was about to cut when struck, with the other. So while preparing the itinerary of our Kumaon tour I had reserved 20th October for visiting Ramgarh and then Mukteshwar 31 km far from it. Blue pine, deodar and oak woods guarded the road leading to Mukteshwar.
The first thing I would always remember regarding Mukteshwar was its gusty winds which seemed to determine to sweep me off my feet. The second thing for which we visited Mukteshwar was the entire range of Himalaya. Mukteshwar was the only place from where one could see the entire range of peaks of both Garhwal & Kumaon Himalaya and of Nepal.
