Nainital


Friends this is Nainital, one of the most famous hill stations in India and where I have gone to most number of times and found some thing new every time I have visited this beautiful lovely gem of a place, friends consider this place as the most loved hill station by suny.


I have been going to this place since I was six while my father was posted there for a few months but decided to come back to his own original place of posting due to many reasons one of them being that in winter seasons the offices were shifted to lower districts of the area as the place gets cold enough for the comfort of outsiders and snow falls a lot and brings the life to stand still in winters during india tours.


The journey   begins from Haldwani, though not the last but almost as the last railway station  is Kathgodam but people coming from far off places find it more comfortable to change their mod of journey that is invariably either the public transport system run by the state transport bus services or the taxi car rental available on share basis or to your choice,  on round trip basis, but the taxis or for that matter any private or public vehicles  are limited up to  certain parts and not allowed to ply on roads of the city, reserved for tourists to make it much more comfortable for fun loving people who come to this  place to enjoy what the nature has reserved for them at its best.


As soon as you cross Kathgodam, your journey  begins, you begin climbing to the height of those 6500ft that the every meter takes you through those hilly road and what a road that is, looks more like a way to paradise and I found it that way during my every visit, oh  how can one forget the nice pines (chir) cedar (deodar), roses, oh so many and all of them beautifully loaded with flowers and thin and white natural streams of water flowing through the hills, the entire rout of about  forty kilometers looks so picturesque and full of neat,colorful roadside eating joints and fruits venders who come after you urging to buy their stuff, that you are bound to stop at some of the places and enjoy the picnic, you may find some of the youngsters dancing and enjoying their cold drinks to the tunes of music playing in their cars? music systems  and  folks, you have not yet done even half the journey to Nainital tours the city of Nine lakes and many more places to see those will make you a regular visitor for the rest of your life.


Now let?s get down from the car or bus we have been traveling to reach to the place called Nainital, now the place you are standing is Tallital and surrounded by hotel agents and that perhaps is the worst thing you shall face in this otherwise very friendly city, even your telling them that you have a hotel reservation would not satisfy them so you have no choice but to walk towards the place you have intentions to stay in or you may take the help of tourist centre that?s right there or take a rikshaw that is the only transport allowed on that road, horses too are allowed but they have a separate lane for them and you are surely not going to your hotel riding on a horse with all that luggage you are carrying. My favorite hotels are  near the church or near the boat club.


I tried a few near the secretariat some of the times but never found them to my liking as they had not the favorite view of the lake.


Once you are settled in a hotel, every thing falls in place, now you have nothing but to enjoy, you can begin with a walk round the lake or you can sit in the Maidan the field or stadium with so many tourists sitting and standing and listening the music of the band while enjoying their cherries and strawberries and may be Bhelpuris,  nut the real nuts friends. make my trip


So you have had enough of music, just walk to the other end of the ground and enter the wonderland of the Chat-market an eater?s paradise or walk a further up and go to Bhotiya market, where people from Bhutan and Tibet sell their unique items, some thing like a footpath market with lots of verities with lots of hackling.


Boating in the lake is another option that attracts every on and without this your journey to this city of lakes is incomplete, in fact I used to do it twice once in the morning, and again in the evenings after coming back from other sight seeing, which are aplenty in and around Nainital. Some of the places you must visit while in Nainital: Snow view , Lal Tibba, Naina Devi, Sherwood,Tiffin Top, Gun Hill, Saraiya Tal, Bhowali.


In fact all places mentioned above demand a chapter to be described them and even then to describe them fully would not give you the actual picture, because beauty of a place can best be described by the one who witnesses it, others only listen it. As you are aware that Naini Tal as it sounds and pronounced like ninee  which means Nine is a place of nine lakes, some of them are-  Naini Lake, Saat Tal, Bhimtal, Naukuchiatal, khurpatal, Shuk Tal. nature tours india


Again all of these lakes have a lot to describe their beauties but that would make a book and that is no possible here. Some of the places can be visited through walking or riding on a horse, some by rope ways and some by all sorts of transportation available very easily.


The area is very rich in its fruits and honey productions, some of the best apples are grown here apart from cherries and some tea, besides there are many more varieties of fruits in this area. This area is full of beautiful hill stations with peaceful nature like Ranikhet, Almora and many more. india trips online


I can only say that if you have to see the best blessings of  mother Nature, this is the area where she started from and when some one reminded  her that there are more places in this universe where her blessings are required too, then only she stopped, and not fully so to believe.
