The lake and its island
Bhimtal Lake is larger and calmer than its famous neighbour in Nainital. Hire a boat across to the little island at its centre, home to an aquarium, and watch the hills reflect in the still water.
The sister lakes
A short drive brings you to Sattal — a cluster of interconnected lakes ringed by oak and pine, beloved of birdwatchers — and Naukuchiatal, the nine-cornered lake, good for a quiet paddle.
Temples and trails
The Bhimeshwar temple sits by the lake, and gentle ridge walks lead to viewpoints and Kumaoni villages. Our team will point you to the right trail for the morning.
Come and see it for yourself.
