Where ever you go, Go with all your heart. This time my heart led me to the lofty peaks of Kumaon hills of district of Uttrakhand,India. I am talking about NAINITAL " The city of lakes".
Nainital is Situated on an altitude of 2084 m above the sea level. It is a very popular hill station in the indian state Uttrakhand.
The view of shining water with the background of huge mountains will leave you bewitching.

As you exit from the railway station you will find many taxi driver offering you ride for Nainital in just Rs 600 . We hired one of the cab and headed towards the city of lakes.
We went to Nainital in the month of December . We found a good deal (700rs) at the hotel named hotel ashok which was 1min walk from the famous naini lake. The place was crowded with tourists, backpacker's, especially honeymoon couples and families etc in the month of December.

The Naini Lake is located at the Center of the city. Naini Lake is the main attraction of Nainital. You must take a boat ride to witness the scenic Beauty closely. We decided to take a boat ride and the charges were same for Rs. 180/person. The sight seeing from the boat was more pleasurable and relaxing.
The lake looks more mesmerizing during the night . It glitters due to the reflection of lights falling from the nearby houses and hotels.
It is one of the busiest roads of Nainital. It is situated on the side of Naini lake. There are number of hotels,shops, restaurants,etc located on the Mall road. You can enjoy a long evening walk with a cup of hot chocolate or a cone of softy/ ice-cream along with the cool breeze blowing across the lake.
