Nainital

A beautiful hill station nestled in the Kumaon foothills of the Himalayas, Nainital is built around a natural lake shaped like an eye.

My Visit

During my visit to Nainital in October 1996, I took some time to explore this charming hill station. The trip coincided with my journey to Pragpura, Rajasthan where I witnessed the total solar eclipse.

Travel Tip: The best time to visit Nainital is during summer (March to June) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is pleasant. The winters can be quite cold but offer beautiful snow-covered views.
