Whenever we are blessed with a long weekend, we all wish to
get some peace and respite from the scorching heat. The hills are the perfect
place to go, sit back and relax. They are serene and breezy. They are also very
picturesque, perfect to flood your Instagram with.
Nainital, a small hill station located in Uttarakhand is an
ideal location to spend your next long weekend with family or friends. Here are
a few things you can do while you are there.
- VISIT THE LAKE
Nainital is called the Lake City because it is surrounded by
lakes all around the city. Naukuchiyatal (Lake with 9 corners), Bhimtal (with
the small island in the middle of the lake) and Sattal (there are 7 lakes in
this area), Khurpatal (the hoof-shaped lake) are must see places around
Nainital. You can rent a boat on the lake or sit by the lakeside and bask in
the mountain sun for hours.
- LIVE IN A COZY COTTAGE
Himalaica Nainital homestay cottages are perfect
for a laid back holiday and they feel just like home. You can feel the first ray
of the sun while sipping on a cup of coffee in your balcony, look out the
window at snow-capped mountains and take in some fresh breeze.
- VISIT SNOW VIEW
Snow View is one of the most popular tourist attractions in
Nainital. This place is a small fun park which is perfect to spend some quality
time with family. You can also see the snow-clad Himalayan range on a clear
day. A cable car/ropeway can be taken to
reach there.
- EAT TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT
There are many street side outlets as well as fine dine
restaurants in Nainital that you can visit. If you have taken a Himalaica cottage in nainital for
rent, you can also go for home delivery. Binge on some savoury momos
and thukpa from the Tibetan market or satisfy your sweet tooth at Sakley’s
Restaurant and Pastry Shop. With such a wide variety, you will definitely
return from this vacation with a happy tummy!
