Information about Nainital
Tour
A small town in the hills of Kumaon, Nainital is a lovely
hill station surrounded by mountains on three sides. Once this area had many
lakes and it was called the City of 60 lakes or 'Chakta'.
Most of the lakes in the region have disappeared and whatever remains is
just a glimpse of what they might have been in the past. Today the life of
Nainital revolves around the lake of Naini. But there are few other lakes
around Nainital which are equally beautiful and attractive as the Naini lake.
River Ramganga originates from the Doodha Tauli ranges in district Pauri
Garhwal. It enters into district Nainital, before re-entering into district
Pauri Garhwal.
Nainital was discovered in 1841 by a Britisher called Lord Barron. The
weather, the surrounding and the mesmerising beauty of this area attracted the
British administrator who turned Nainital into the summer capital of the United
Province. Being a major tourist place Nainital is always bustling with visitors
and it is always better if accommodation and other facilites are prearranged.
