Top 3 reasons to visit Nainital

Nainital is one of the most beautiful hill stations of Uttarakhand. A tranquil valley, which nestles at a height of around 2000m, this town has a centrally situated lake and is the most sought after hill station in the north. Nainital is most crowded during the summers and is mostly a hit spot for couples and honeymooners. Here are the top 3 reasons to visit Nainital.

The Beautiful Lakes

Nainital has become synonymous with lakes. The city is mostly all about beautiful lakes. Naukuchiyatal, the lake that has 8 corners, Sattal, which has 7 lakes, Bhimtal, an island amidst the lake and Khurpatal, a lake of hoof shape are a must visit in Nainital. All of these lakes are located at small distances from each other. It thus hardly requires half a day to visit all of these lakes. These lakesides have a number of joints near them so you can stop over at one of them for lunch or snacks. As far as Sattal is concerned, the place is isolated and also the only place where fishing is allowed. Here you will not find much food joints and very less crowd. Perfect for those who prefer some time alone away from the crowd. Lakes to look out for here are Sita Tal, Panna Lake and Ram Tal. Also, visit the island in Bhimtal, which has a large number of fishes.

The Food

You cannot compare the street food of Nainital to that of Chandni Chowk in Delhi. But the food here at the Mall Road is different and distinct in itself. The restaurant here itself is called Chandni Chowk. The interiors and architecture have been largely inspired by Delhi’s Chandni Chowk in order to beguile tourists. The interior is so out of the box that even the non foodie tourists comes to visit it. You can expect mostly Punjabi cuisine at this restaurant but do not miss out on their popular Dilli ki Chaat. Also, the luxury hotels in Nainital have some superb restaurants where you can satisfy your belly.

The Magnificent Himalayan Views

You can use the ropeway in order to reach Snow View, the most popular attraction in Nainital. From here you can get some excellent and rare view of the Himalayan peaks. If you are putting up at a luxury resort in Nainital, the rooms too may give you some good Himalayan views. After all, it is all about the hills and the lakes.
