On the water
Boating on Bhimtal, the island aquarium, and a half-day at Sattal for birdsong and forest. Naukuchiatal rewards an early start before the day-trippers arrive.
A day in Nainital
About an hour away, Naini Lake and the Mall make for a lively day out — the cable car up to Snow View on a clear day is worth the queue.
Temples and viewpoints
Bhimeshwar Mahadev by the lake, Hanuman temples on the ridges, and quiet viewpoints where the Himalaya line the horizon on a clear morning.
Slow it down
The truth is that Bhimtal rewards doing less. A walk, a boat, a long lunch and an evening by the fire is, for many of our guests, the whole point.
Come and see it for yourself.
