Within the panoramic Kumaon region, lies the district of Nainital, a hill resort blessed with beauteous splendor. A favourite with the British, Nainital was, for a long time, home to Jim Corbett, and you would find mention of it in his books. Long ago, it probably housed just a handful of people. Today it is tourist-laden, that throng its Mall area, looking for activities or simply to hang-out! And amidst all this glimmers the blue-green Naini Lake, reflecting in it silhouettes of mountains and trees. Visit it whenever you want, but we recommend you give the tourist season a miss and visit it during the off-season. Because it is then that Nainital assumes its real splendor that made the British title it “home”.
