NAINITAL TOURISM

Known as the lake district of India, Nainital is located in the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand and gets its name from the Naini lake. A former British hill station, Nainital today is one of the . The city’s charm is only added to with the hundreds of ancient temples and peaks with amazing views of the mountains in the backdrop. The place is set in a valley containing the pear-shaped Naini lake, approximately two miles in circumference and surrounded by mountains. Its unparalleled allure has made it one of the 17 best places to visit in India in 2017.

Flooded with tourists between May to July and then again in October, the tariffs for food and accommodation during this time increase drastically. In 1841, Percy Barron ‘discovered’ Nainital and took great interest in it, writing: “It is by far the best site I have witnessed in the course of a 1500 mile trek in the Himalayas.” Among several other tourist attractions is Snow View, at an altitude of 2270 mt that offers spectacular views of the Naina Devi peak and can be reached by the Aerial Express Ropeway. Close to the ropeway is Mountain Magic that offers Bumping Cars and Go karting facilities.

While activities like boating and exploring caves are major crowd pullers, a visit to the Jim Corbett National Park is an absolute must. The oldest national park in India, it is home to the endangered Bengal Tiger.
