Nainital has earned the epithet of \'Lake District\' of India. It is said that the left eye (Nain) of Sati fell here and formed the emerald eye-shaped lake.

The Nainital Lake is shaped like an eye and the town derived its name from the combination of Nain (eye) and Tal (lake). The Naina Devi temple is located at one end of the lake .Play hide and seek and be awed with wonderment when the whole lake disappears in a huge sheet of mist within seconds and then re-appears. Board the Ropeway cabin and enjoy the magnificent aerial view of the emerald Nainital. Or test your flexible as your grope your way through the winding contours of the Nainital caves.

shiny bears, multi-colored peasants, grumpy faced wild Owl. Or you could simply pedal in the serene Nainital Lake and watch the cares of the modern world slip away.
