Nainital, a hill station, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Famous for its lakes and snow capped mountains, it offers the tourists an exhilarating experience of nature's wonders.
Let me pose a question to you. What could be as eye catching and charming as the majestic Uttaranchal mountain peaks?
The answer is simple. It is the reflection of these very mountains on the placid and pure waters of the lakes on the foothills of the Kumaon.
Nainital is one such town in the state of Uttaranchal that draws numerous tourists from all parts of India and around the world because of the picturesque landscape that can take anyone’s breath away. This Lake District gives tourists the opportunity to nestle with the scenic beauty while taking in all the delightful sights and sounds with absolute glee.
A picturesque spot Nainital is situated at a height of 6360 feet above sea level and has plenty of serene lakes that will calm even the most restless of souls. It reflects the majestic mountains during the day and the innumerable stars, thanks largely to the unpolluted atmosphere, during the night.
Nainital got its name from a temple situated to the north of the Naini Lake called the Naini Devi temple. The temple deity is goddess Naina Devi, who is a manifestation of Durga and her Shakti form. Since ‘Naini’ means eyes, certain sections of the people believe that it was here that Sati’s eye fell, and hence the name Nainital.
Nainital is one of India’s most visited hill stations and is dotted with villas, cottages and bungalows. Cool weather prevails throughout the year and heavy snowfall is a common characteristic during the months from December to February. Since the weather is pleasant the year round, the best time to come to Nainital would be during the summer months that is from March to June.
