Nainital
Was discovered by an Englishman named P. Barron in 1839. The glorious gem-like lake and the virgin hills appealed to him so strongly that he left a flourishing sugar business to settle here. And so it began. First the holidaying English then the Indian maharajas and then the Indian public. Nainital has never looked back as a summer retreat since.

The headquarters of the district by the same name; Nainital is the largest and most popular hill-station of the Kumaon region. Making it your base, you can visit other spots such as Ranikhet, Kausani, Mukteshwar and Almora. The heart of the destination is the Naini Lake named after the emerald green eyes of the Goddess Parvati, who is also the patron goddess of the region. From around the lake rise wooded slopes, one side being heavily populated by a large township.

Nainital is also intimately linked with legendary hunter turned conservationist Jim Corbett. He lived here with his family and it is from here that he first ventured on hunting trips in the surrounding forests. Later Corbett was to play an important role in establishing a game sanctuary under a conservation programme promoted by him and other like minded friends, which went on to become one of India's first national wildlife parks the Corbett National Park.

Make the Naini Lake area your base for exploring this old hill station. The lake itself nestles between the Ayarpatta ridge to the west and Sher Ka Danda to the west. Head for the Mall area, which runs along its eastern bank with its line-up of small hotels, restaurants and storefronts. A peaceful walkway encircles the lake and the opposite side known as Thandi Sadak is popular for pony rides. When the holiday crowds start getting to you, head for the higher slopes of the hills to discover a peaceful and calm side of the hill-station.

China Peak
Also known as Naina Peak, this peak is at an altitude of 2611 mts and at a distance of 6 kms from Nainital.

And a bird's eye view of the entire town of Nainital on the other side. The emerald green Naini lake, the centerpiece of the town below, looks wonderful from the top. It is truly worth the 60 minute hike to the top. Unlike other viewing spots, China Peak is not visited by crowds of tourists so it's a beautiful spot to enjoy a few hours of solitude too. For those who might find the climb a little strenuous, there are ponies to be hired. Once at the top though, tourist infrastructure is fairly minimal in terms of food availability so it's best to carry food and water with you.

The Lake Area
The Mallital area, which falls in the northern part of the lake, is where the High Court building is located. Here is where you'll find The Flats, the Tibetan Market and the Burra Bazaar, the Eco Cave Gardens and several top end hotels.

The Naina devi temple
To the north of the lake is the small Naina Devi Temple, one of India's venerable 64 Shaktipeeths. The pathway to the temple, edging the lakeside is a verdant trail. The lake is said to have sprung from the eye of the Goddess Parvati which legend has it fell here when the grief-stricken Lord Shiva broke into his cosmic tandava dance of destruction with his dead consort in his arms.

The Flats
In close proximity to the Naina Devi Temple and the lake, the flattened ground created as a result of a landslip, is a popular venue for local football matches and other sports. Part of it is also a large car park. In the summer the holiday crowd fills up the place as they come to enjoy the breeze, and try out the snack stalls. A bazaar also springs up here selling local handicrafts such as shawls, blankets, candles, decorative items and tweeds. The Tibetan market along the edge of the lake is very popular and a permanent feature.

Eco Cave Garden
A hot favorite with children, it's an excellent way to introduce them to eco-friendly living. The six caves here bring out the explorer in the kids and their high-spirited laughter rewards you for its novel approach to adventure in the hills. Not for the claustrophobic though. The musical fountain operates during the high season Overnight stay at the hotel.
