Places
to visit around Bhimtal
Sat
Tal: Originally a cluster of seven lakes, now reduced
to five (since two have dried up), Sat Tal (21 km from Nainital)
has all it takes to veil the place in a kind of mystique—densely
wooded hills, roads that glide under a canopy of gossamer green
oak trees, pines and dark brooding firs, little creeks along the
shores of the lakes and boat rides on the placid waters.
Naukutchia Tal: 24 km from Nainital, it
is the deepest and by far the most picturesque lake in the Kumaon
region and derives its name from the nine corners which came together
to form it. It is a tranquil, pleasant expanse of water, reflected
green by the low, wooded hills cradling it and surrounded by 70
acres of predominantly oak forests which, after the monsoons,
show the innumerable hues of the Himalayan forest.
Ramgarh: 25 kms from Nainital, it is a
picturesque hamlet in the heart of orchard land in the foothills
of the Himalayas. Many writers and thinkers have been drawn to
the beauty of Ramgarh and it is an ideal place for long walks,
to let your creative juices flow or just unwind or introspect.
Mukteshwar: 45 kms from Nainital, at 8000 ft,
this is an idyllic sojourn in the lap of the mountains and rolling
meadows. Surrounded by fruit orchards and thick coniferous forest
it provides a majestic view of the Himalayas. It is popular for
the century old Shiva Temple, Chauthijalli rock formations, Angora
wool sheep farm, rejuvenating forest walks and enchanting sunsets.
Nainital:
23 km from Bhimtal, this is the place for a quiet holiday. Nainital
is a glittering jewel in the Himalayan necklace, blessed with scenic natural
spledour and varied natural resources. Dotted with lakes, Nainital
has earned the epithet of ’Lake District'
of India. The most prominent of the lakes is Naini lake ringed
by hills. Nainital’s unending expense of scenic beauty
is nothing short of a romance with awe-inspiring and pristine
Mother Nature.

Snow
View: The Snow view point located at height of 2270
meter on the Sher-ka-Danda hill is the most easily accessible,
if not on foot then via the cable car that skims its surface
and whisks you away merrily to the top. Once there you can only
gaze in wonder at the glittering panorama of Himalayan snows
spanning the distant horizon.
- Naina
Peak: Known as the China peak at 8,568 feet is the highest
point in Nainital. It commands a superb view of the Himalayas
and an intriguing bird’s-eye view of Nainital. One can walk
or take ponies to the peak.
- Kilburi:
Kilburi is slightly away from Nainital, about 12 kms from the
main town. Located amidst green forests, it is peaceful and quiet
and offers a very good view of the Himalayas.
- Tiffin
Top (Dorothy's Seat, 2292 mtrs) : A memorial to an English
lady believed to have been killed in an air crash. The spot commands
a sectional view of the town and the nearby region. The peak was
known as Ayarpatta Hill. Ayarpatta Hill is a haven of trees—oak,
fir, deodar, pine and rhododendron. Some of the roads are narrow
and still paved with brick. On this hill stands Gurney House,
home of the great Jim Corbett, the fearless famous hunter, conservationist
and writer to remember. The house was named after Corbett’s
father. It is now a museum of Corbett memorabilia.
- Hanuman
Garhi: Situated at a height of 1951 meters, with its
famous temple, this place is reputed for its glorious sunsets.
A very beautiful Hanuman mandir is at the top. Near the temple
stands the Uttar Pradesh Government observatory and the Satellite
Tracking Center.
- Observatory:
The clear skies over Nainital prompted the government to setup
an observatory here. The observatory has one of the most advance
telescopes in India. With the help of this telescope the movement
of stars, planets and other heavenly bodies can be calculated
to great precision.
- Naina
Devi Temple: The attractive lake of Nainital is said
to be the eyes of Sati, wife of Lord Shiva. Sati jumped into the
sacrificial bonfire. Lord Shiva to mourn the death of his beloved
wife carried the body across the country. The remains of her body
fell at various places which today are sacred worship places for
the Hindus.
- High
Altitude Zoo: Naini Tal has a small but a very beautiful
Zoological garden. There are many animals kept here which includes
Deers, Bears, Tigers and many more.
- St.
John's Church: This church was built in 1847. A brass
memorial is kept in memory of the persons who were buried in the
infamous landslide.
- Horse
riding: Any visitor coming to Nainital cannot miss the
joy of riding a horse on the Mall. Not only at the Mall but to
reach the Snow View Point, Tiffin Top, Kilburi from the Mallital
