My short trip to Nainital


Naintal is a beautiful hill station in Uttaranchal,India. We made a short trip to Nainital in April. We took a train to Kathgodam and then from there, took a taxi to Naintal.

Naintal, famous for its lovely lakes,derived its name from Naini lake. The Naina Devi temple is located at one end of this lake. Naini lake is the main attraction of Naintal. This lake looks stunning at night. It is believed that this lake is one of the green eyes of Sati, Lord Dhiva's wife.


Though we visited many places in Naintal including Zoo, Caves garden,Tiffin top , i was fascinated by the scenic beauty of Naini. I have had a terrific boating experience .


Next day , we went up the Ropeway to the snow view mountain which overlooks the Naini lake and Mall and the surrounding hills .


That evening we headed back to Delhi.
