It is by far the best site I have witnessed in the course of a 1,500 miles (2,400 km) trek in the Himalayas.

Nainital is a paradise for nature lovers located in the kumaon region of Uttarakhand.  The most captivating aspect about Nainital is its hilly surroundings and the poised lake. The "Naini Lake" (Tal) offers an enthralling and mesmerizing experience to the tourist which is why it is sometimes referred to as the ‘Queen of Lakes’. Thus with ‘hills’ in the backdrop and the enchanting lake the place offers a calm and imperturbable along with zealous and fervour laden experience for its travellers.

History and Culture

The Kumaon Hills came under British rule after the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–16). The hill station town of Nainital was founded only in 1841, with the construction of the first European house by P. Barron, a sugar trader from Shahjahanpur.

It is a paradise for the photographers who loves to capture the picture-perfect landscapes and paradise for an adventure buff as well, this place owns a platter of delights for everyone, and welcomes you with open arms!
