Nainital

Nainital during sunset. Nainital is always covered in mist.  Far back there is Naina Peak or Chena Peak. Highest point of Nainital.
Chhapeli performed by men who also play the role of women, dance is popular in Nainital.
Photo taken from Thandi Road. Night time looks best from here. Nainital Lake is called Tri-Rishi-Sarovar, hinting at the story of three sages (or rishis), Atri, Pulastya and Pulaha, who, upon finding no water in Nainital, dug a large hole at the location of the present day lake (sarovar = lake) and filled it with water from the holy lake Manasarovar inTibet. According to lore, a dip in Naini Lake, "the lesser Manasarovar," earns merit equal to a dip in the great lake.
This is Nainital taken at night.

  1. Very informational blog post. Nainital is not only famous for its natural beauty but also for its marvelous architecture from the British era. If you are on a tight schedule, then check out this itinerary for Nainital which includes Naini lake, Cabcke car ride and shopping at the Mall road.

  2. It is among Rosakue’s top villas in Nainital .You will definitely give in to Bara Bungalow's Likhai doors and windows and will melt into the serene mist of the Kumaon mountains, where pine trees, lush valleys, and untamed streams paint a picture of a bygone era.
