Things to do in Nainital, Uttarakhand: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Natural beauty abounds in the state of Uttaranchal's Lake District. Boaters flock to hill-ringed Naini Lake, which according to mythology is one of the emerald eyes of Shiva's wife. A hike or horseback ride to the top of Naina Peak (aka China Peak), the highest point, provides stunning views of the snow-capped Himalayas. To share a prime vantage point with family members of all ages, take the aerial lift up to Snow View; there's also a small marble temple at the top dedicated to Dev Mundi.

The peace & tranquility of this religious place is beyond imagination, The Hills , the fresh water lake, the woods, the narrow lanes, the sounds of birds & animals, fresh thin air which is suppose to have healing properties all around makes this place a true paradise on earth. No TV & No news Paper makes this place even more serene, because you are forced to know yourself & the people around you which otherwise would not have been possible.
