Nainital: what to expect
Nainital is built around a crescent-shaped lake in the Kumaon hills, and the lake is the town's centre of gravity. Boating, Mall Road walks and nearby viewpoints make it a classic family hill break, especially for travellers from Delhi and the plains of Uttar Pradesh.
It gets crowded in summer. Staying in the lake district around Bhimtal or Sattal is a calmer alternative.
Who should visit Nainital
- Families and couples on a long weekend
- Travellers from Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh who want a hill station by road
- Visitors who like lakes more than adventure
