Trip Overview
Nainital, aptly called the 'Lake District of India', is a breathtaking hill station in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand set around the emerald Naini Lake. At an altitude of 2,084 metres, this colonial-era hill town is framed by forested ridges, ancient temples and the shimmering blue waters of the lake.
