Nainital in Uttarakhand: Essential Travel Guide
Plan Your Trip to Uttarakhand's "City of Lakes"
The hill station of Nainital was a popular summer retreat for the British during the time they ruled India. It was discovered in 1841 by British businessman Peter Barren. These days, tourists from Delhi flock there to escape the summer heat. The town is actually made up of two areas, Tallital and Mallital, which are on either end of the lake and connected by The Mall. Mallital, at the top, is the older colonial part of town. The Mall, an action-filled strip that borders Naini Lake on the east side, is lined with restaurants, shops, hotels, and markets.
Nainital is 310 kilometers (193 miles) northeast of Delhi, in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand (previously known as Uttaranchal).
How to Get There
The nearest airport is at Pantnagar, about two hours away away. Air India flies there daily from Delhi. Tickets costs about 5,000 rupees one way.
The nearest train station is at Kathgodam, about an hour away. If you'd prefer to travel overnight, you can take the 15013 Ranikhet Express from Delhi. It departs daily from Old Delhi Junction at 10.05 p.m. and arrives at 5.05 a.m. Otherwise, the 12040 Kathgodam Shatabdi Express is a good option. It departs Delhi at 6 a.m. and reaches Kathgodam at 11.40 a.m.
Alternatively, Nainital is well connected with other parts of India by road and buses frequently run. It takes about eight hours to drive from Delhi to Nainital.
Weather-wise, the best months to visit Nainital are from March to June and from September to November. The area experiences heavy rainfall during the monsoon in July and August , and landslides do happen. Winters, from November to February, are very cold. Sometimes it snows in December and January. If you want peace, avoid peak season from May to mid-July, and Diwali festival in October or November. Indian holiday makers converge on the place in droves and hotel prices skyrocket. Nainital is extremely crowded during these months, resulting in traffic jams and chaos.
You can walk all the way around Naini Lake in about an hour. There are quite a few Hindu temples on the west side of the lake, including one dedicated to Naina Devi. Naini Lake is said to be a manifestation of the emerald green left eye of Lord Shiva's wife, Sati. According to Hindu mythology, her eye fell to the spot while Lord Shiva was carrying the charred remains of her body. She immolated herself because her father didn't approve of her marriage to him.
Boating on the lake is an iconic thing to do in Nainital. Peddle boats, row boats, and small yachts are all available for hire.
If you have kids, they'll enjoy visiting the spacious and well laid-out Govind Ballabh Pant Zoo , which has some wonderfully exotic high-altitude species. Get there by taxi, shuttle bus from India Hotel, or a steep 20 minute walk from the bottom end of The Mall. The zoo is closed Mondays and national holidays. Tickets for Indian adults cost 100 rupees, and children 50 rupees. Foreigners pay 200 rupees for adults and 100 rupees for children.
For panoramic mountain vistas, take the cable car/aerial tramway up to Snow View. It departs from the top end of Mall Road (the lane behind Sakley's Restaurant and Pastry Shop leads to the ticket counter). Tickets cost 230 rupees for adults and 120 rupees for adults, for a round trip. Try and get there before 9 a.m. to avoid long lines. There's a small amusement park at the top, plus the usual snack and souvenir stalls. If you're feeling energetic, it's possible to hike to nearby viewpoints from Snow View. Local guides are available.
The hike up to Dorothy’s Seat picnic spot at rocky Tiffin Top, west of the lake, is also popular. From there, you can continue 45 minutes onward through the forest to Land's End. Alternatively, horse rides to these places are offered just west of town on the road to Ramnagar.
Nainital-based Snout Adventures conducts trekking further afield, while the Nainital Mountaineering Club runs rock climbing courses and expeditions for adventure enthusiasts.
To see a memorable sunset, head to Hanuman Garhi temple south of town.
Those who are interested in British-era architecture should go on a tour of Raj Bhawan (Governors House), an immense Victorian Gothic-style building designed to resemble a Scottish castle. The tours depart every hour, with the first one starting at 11 a.m.
The town's market, Bara Bazaar, is the best place to pick up some souvenirs including locally-made candles. Check out Mehrotras House of Wax, the oldest candle shop there. The Pahari Store , which stocks products handmade in the hills, is another fabulous place to shop.
Where to Stay
Nainital has some delightful heritage hotels in the vicinity of the lake. These include the luxurious Naini Retreat (the former summer residence of the Maharaja of Pilibhit), the Palace Belvedere (which belonged to the erstwhile rajas of Awagarh), Balrampur House , the Grand Hotel on The Mall, the Pavilion Hotel , and Emily Lodge and Cafe .
If you'd prefer a boutique heritage homestay, Abbotsford is recommended.
Shervani Hilltop is a popular luxury choice that's quietly nestled into the hills above town.
Conveniently situated lakeside on The Mall, Hotel Alka has a wide range of colonial-style rooms (including a family apartment) from about 4,500 rupees per night. Hotel ChanniRaja and the Classic Hotel are also good options on The Mall.
Hotel Himalaya , near the bus stand in Tallital, provides decent budget accommodations.
Where to Eat
Most of Nainital's restaurants are located on The Mall. Popular ones include Sakley's Restaurant and Pastry Shop for global cuisine, Zooby's Kitchen for North Indian food, Chandani Chowk for mouthwatering jalebi s and Indian snacks, and Pot & Stones Cafe for Continental cuisine and coffee.
Quaint Cafe Cicha , at the Abbotsford Heritage Homestay, has a relaxing garden setting and serves delicious Continental fare. Weekend cooking classes are conducted there.
For an atmospheric drink, try Stella Bar at the Naini Hotel or the Boat House Club (you'll need to pay for a temporary membership).
Nainital is an excellent base for exploring the lakes and other hill towns in the area. You'll find plenty of tour operators in The Mall who offer excursions. A half-day tour to nearby lakes such as Sat Tal, Bhimtal and Naukuchiatal is a popular option. The forested areas of Kilbury, Vinayak and Kunjakharak are an ideal option for nature lovers. The Pangot and Kilbury Bird Sanctuary is renowned for its many species of birds.
In addition, it’s possible to visit Corbett National Park on a side trip from Nainital.

Weekend Getaways from Nainital
Best Time to Visit Nainital
The weather in Nainital is enjoyable throughout the year. Winter begins in November and it’s still pretty cold in March, with the temperature ranging from 2 to 11 degrees celsius in these months. April onwards, Nainital gradually becomes warmer, reaching up to 23 degrees celsius, which is a cool summer when compared to other North Indian cities. Nainital receives rainfall between mid-June and mid-September generally. Due to its closeness to the outer Himalayas, Nainital’s annual rainfall is pretty high.
Although Nainital weather is favourable throughout the year, Nainital tourism sees the maximum influx of tourists in the summer, which is the best time to visit Nainital. If you enjoy being outdoors during cold weather, the best season to visit Nainital would be winter when you can experience snowfall in Nainital. As Nainital tourism does not invite many tourists then, the hotels and outdoor activities are much cheaper too. Nainital in winter, therefore, can be enjoyed as much as summers there.
Best Places to Visit in Nainital
Nainital tourism offers a range of places to see as well as activities to do to keep tourists busy. As the city is such a popular getaway, there is ample information available on Nainital sightseeing. While you can choose to spend a week here, Nainital tourism mostly attracts the weekend crowd from nearby cities.
The following are some of the places that can be added to your Nainital itinerary: Lake Naini
This lake is the heart and soul of Nainital tourism. With colourful boats dotting the edge of the lake and seven mighty hills protecting the valley, boating and paddling in the lake are the top things to do in Nainital. The view of sunsets and sunrises as you paddle across the lake from end to end is the most serene experience you can get out of Nainital tourism. Tourists are blessed with a calm view of the city from across the lake as well as snowy peaks and green hills. A lot of Nainital’s famous places such as Tiffin Top, Snow Peak and Nanda Devi temple can be seen while floating in a boat on the lake. The Mall Road
This is one of Nainital’s best places for a nice stroll to enjoy the evening breeze as you relish some local Pahadi food. The momos are particularly famous here. The locals involved in Nainital tourism have put up some stalls in the Tibetan Market and Bhotia Bazaar too for travellers to buy some traditional mementos to take back home. Life on this road mirrors the energy of the whole city! The Mall Road runs through the centre of Nainital, along Naini Lake. Being a commercial zone, the area gets crowded with many travel agencies, hotels, and restaurants profiting off of Nainital tourism. This can be overwhelming for some, but thankfully, during the peak months of May, June and October, Nainital tourism does not allow vehicles in the area from 6-9pm. Naina Devi Temple
One of the important places to visit in Nainital, Naina Devi Temple is a pilgrim site that sits beside the Naini Lake. A shrine is said to have been there for thousands of years which pays homage to Goddess Sati, Lord Ganesh and Goddess Kali. The temple’s ceiling has two eyes that signify the remains of Goddess Sati. For a complete spiritual experience of Nainital tourism, the best time to visit Nainital is during the Nanda Ashtami festival organised every September at the Naina Devi temple. Nainital tourism welcomes thousands of tourists during Navratri and Chaitra as well. Nainital Zoo
Aside from the zoos in Sikkim and Darjeeling, Nainital tourism boasts of having one of the only high altitude zoos in India. Perched on Sher Danda hill, it houses many different kinds of animals such as the Royal Bengal Tiger, Himalayan Bear, and Tibetan Wolves. In fact, the last of the Siberian Tiger species in India took his last breath in this very zoo in 2011. Other species on display in the zoo include Golden Pheasant, Kalij Pheasant, Rose-ringed Parakeet as well. This is one of Nainital’s famous places as it allows visitors to witness some of the lesser-seen wildlife. The zoo also organises awareness events to teach locals and tourists alike about the importance of wildlife conservation, which is a significant subject of interest due to the impact of the growth of Nainital tourism. This is probably one of the more important things to see in Nainital especially for parents who want their children to be more sensitized and informed about endangered wildlife. Naina Peak
Naina Peak, or what is locally known as China Peak, is one of Nainital’s best places as it is the highest peak in the region. It makes for an amazing hike due to the vivid greenery and the unforgettable bird eye’s view of the town. Apart from hiking up the hill on foot, you could ride a pony as well. You should ideally begin the hike early in the morning and descend after a splendid view of the sunset to have a classic Nainital tourism experience. There are no food joints on the hill, so you should pack some up to take with you on your way to this Nainital picnic spot. Tiffin Top
Situated on Ayarpatta hill, Tiffin top, or Dorothy’s Seat, is another popular Nainital picnic spot. Locals would enjoy Nainital tourism by visiting the hilltop to enjoy their lunch with a view, which is how the place gets its name. It’s a fun spot to casually hang out for a nice evening. This Nainital tourist spot is also a haven for photographers looking for a magnificent view of the Himalayas. You can also participate in several adventure activities like rock climbing, ziplining and rappelling that are organised there by Nainital tourism. Land’s End
This is another one of the significant tourist attractions in Nainital for adrenaline junkies. At the top, it seems as though there is no land beyond the cliff, which makes for a killer Nainital sightseeing point. For nature lovers, it’s a double treat as you wade through lush greenery on your hike or pony ride to reach this spot from where even Khurpatal is visible. The picturesque location is also famous among amateurs for practising photography. Note that there is no barrier railing at the edge of the cliff, so be careful! Snow Peak
Slightly away from the city centre, Snow Peak is one of the main attractions of Nainital tourism. The glorious view one gets of the mighty, frosted Himalayas is why this spot remains at the top of tourists’ things to see in Nainital list, as it should be! You can use the large binoculars here to enjoy the view and go on to indulge in some instant noodles and tea at the various snacks shops in the area. You can reach it via road, but to experience the best Nainital sightseeing, the aerial ropeway is the preferred alternative. There is a Tibetan monastery called Gadhan Kunkyop Ling Gompa nearby as well that is worth a visit. Pangot and Kilbury Bird Sanctuary
This bird sanctuary is one of the most sought out places to visit near Nainital. At a distance of 13 kilometres from the main city is a village called Pangot, which is home to the Kilbury bird sanctuary. Nainital tourism encourages travellers to see the diverse species of birds inhabiting the sanctuary. Not only is this one of Nainital’s best places for people interested in avifauna, but the magnificent environment truly enhances one’s experience. Kilbury bird sanctuary reflects the best of Nainital tourism’s flora and fauna, which is why it should not be missed. Besides, on the drive up to Pangot, travellers get to cross some of Nainital’s famous places such as the Naina peak, the Echo point and the Himalaya View point. Eco Cave Gardens
Families have now started to visit the Eco Cave Gardens when they visit Nainital without fail. It is managed by Nainital tourism and surely makes for an interesting addition to your Nainital itinerary. Here, natural caves have been groomed into a garden, with the rocks shaped into 6 different animals. This is a great spot offered by Nainital tourism for people travelling with children as it provides unique insight about Kumaon’s natural habitat. Moreover, the garden’s musical fountain and vintage lamps make it a good location for some family photos.
Besides these spots, there are many places near Nainital that make it to tourists’ itinerary as well. Aside from contributing to Nainital tourism, the following are some other tourist destinations you should consider visiting:
- Bhimtal : 22 kilometres from Nainital, this is the largest lake among the seven lakes in the area. It is one of the most popular places to visit near Nainital.

Q. How do I reach Nainital from Kathgodam railway station? A. You are planning to book one of the Nainital packages , but unsure how to complete the rest of the journey after de-boarding at Kathgodam? Nainital’s main Mall Road is about 35 kilometre from the Kathgodam railway station, and that journey can be covered by a hired taxi in approximately two hours via the NH109. There are buses by Uttarakhand State Road Transport Corporation on this route, and it is quite an economical way of arriving at the hill station. You can also find shared and private taxis from the railway station. Q. Are there enough ATMs in Nainital? A. You may be one step away from zeroing on one of the Nainital tour packages thinking how much cash to carry on your holiday and whether there would be sufficient ATMs around. There are multiple ATMs on the Mall Road of Nainital. You will find ones by ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Nainital Bank, State Bank of India, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Bank of Baroda, Axis Bank among others. Q. Can I visit Sattal and Naukuchiatal on the same day from Nainital? A. Sattal is about 22 kilometre from Nainital and Naukuchiatal about 27 kilometre from Nainital. It is very much possible to club both of Nainital’s iconic lakes on the same day because they are about 17.5 kilometre apart. Begin early, hire a shared taxi from the Nainital Mall Road and explore the two lakes before returning by early evening. Else you can ask your hotel to help you with a private taxi to take you to both Sattal and Naukuchiatal on the same day. Usually, the two lakes are part of most Nainital travel packages . Q. When can one expect snowfall in Nainital? A. Winter sets in Nainital from the last part to October and lasts till February. Within that December and January gets exceptionally cold recording sub-zero temperatures. Though not always but December and early part of January sees some snowfall in Nainital. The night temperature at this time of the year can slip to -10 degree Celsius. Visit around Christmas and New Years if you’d really like to see snow here. Q. What are the charges for boating on Nainital lake? A. It differs with the kind of boat you are riding. For rowboats the charges are INR 160 for half a round of the Naini Lake. You need to pay INR 210 for a rowboat doing a full round of the lake. It is INR 210 for a paddle boat on an hourly basis. You also have the option of taking a gondola ride on the lake where you need to pay INR 210 per person. You can boat between 06:00 am and 06:00 pm any day of the week. Q. What is Nainital’s peak boating season? A. Boating on the tear-drop shaped Naini Lake is a favourite pastime of the tourists visiting it. It is truly a delight to drift on the emerald lake at the heart of the hill station and listen to your oarsman as he regales you with the fascinating legend surrounding it. While boating is most enjoyable in the peak summer months of March, April, May and June when a gentle breeze picks up and surrounds you as you come out in your rowboat, the chilly months of December and January hold a special charm for some when the snow is fresh on the banks and the nip rising from the waters tingles the spine. Q. Which is the nearest airport to Nainital? A. The closest airport to Nainital is the Pantnagar Airport in Pantnagar about 69 kilometres away. You can take a taxi from the airport which will bring you around to Nainital’s Mall Road in about 2 hours and 15 minutes. There are regular scheduled flights between the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi and Pantnagar. There are flights by Alliance Air, Air Heritage (for Pithoragarh) and Deccan Charters. Q. What are the places to visit around Nainital? A. On a holiday in the British-founded Nainital, you can round up Bhimtal, Sattal, Naukuchiatal, Mukteshwar, Pithoragarh, Ramgarh, Ranikhet, Kausani, Almora, Khurpatal, and Jim Corbett National Park to name a few. From Nainital you can plan a few days stay in Ranikhet, Kausani and Almora. Q. Where is the Nainital Zoo and how can I visit it? A. The G B Pant High Altitude Zoo or the Nainital Zoo is about a kilometre from the Tallital bus station and is among the three high altitude zoos in the country - the others being in Darjeeling and Sikkim. To get here you are better off hiring a shared jeep from the Nainital Mall Road that will bring you to the zoo at INR 30 per person, or you are free to take a private taxi. The zoo also offers a shuttle service starting from the Tallital Boat Stand and Mallital State Bank of India. The zoo is open everyday except Mondays between 10:00 am and 04:30 pm charging an entry fee of INR 50 for adults and INR 20 for children. Camera fee is additional. Q. What are my eating-out options on the Nainital Mall Road? A. From open-air cafes with lakeside views, chic pizzerias in an open courtyard, colourful bakeries, tiny but ambient shake joints, snug restaurants serving speciality Indian fare, to an array of fast food chains and pubs, the Nainital Mall Road is buzzing with dining options. You have Cafe Lakeside, Viceroy - The Bar, Panorama, Tadka restaurant and Sakley’s Restaurant & Pastry Shop aside from more pocket-friendly options like Zooby’s Kitchen, Cafe Chica, Giannis pure veg restaurant, Machan restaurant, Baker’s Hut, Pots & Stones Cafe and a whole bunch of junk food chains.
