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 this place 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.
