The Lake Town That
Never Lets You Leave

There is something about Nainital that works its way under your skin. The lake at dawn, still as glass. The pine-scented cold that hits you at night. The mist that swallows the town and makes it feel like no other place exists. Whatever it is — we will get you there properly.

Naini Lake at Dawn
Why Nainital

It Is Not Just a Hill Station. It Is a Feeling.

Most people come for the lake. They stay for everything else — the steaming chai at a roadside stall after a morning row, the mist that rolls through the pines and makes the whole valley disappear, the Nanda Devi temple bells echoing at dusk.

Nainital sits at 2,084 metres, tucked in a natural bowl of seven hills. The lake is shaped like an eye — that is what Naini means — and it is impossibly blue on a clear October morning. Around it, the town unfolds slowly: old Raj-era buildings, rowboats, Tibetan stalls, and the best momos you will find north of Sikkim.

Lake Boating
Paddle out at 6 am before the crowds. The Himalayas reflect in the water if you are lucky.
Cheena Peak Sunrise
2,611 m. The finest sunrise view in the region. Wrap up warm — you will want to linger.
Hidden Cafés
Tucked-away spots with mountain views, filter coffee, and no Instagram crowds yet.
Eco Cave Garden
Natural limestone caves, hanging gardens, a musical fountain. Perfect for families.

Day by Day

What Your Days Actually Look Like

Not a list of attractions. A real picture of what happens when everything is sorted and you can just enjoy.

D1

Delhi → Nainital · First Sight of the Lake

  • Depart Delhi by 5–6 am for the smoothest drive; NH9 is quietest early morning
  • Breakfast stop at Moradabad — famous for biryani and kachori on this route
  • Arrive Nainital by early afternoon; hotel check-in, freshen up
  • Afternoon: first walk to the lake. Just sit. Let it sink in.
  • Naini Lake boat ride at 4 pm — golden hour on the water is worth everything
  • Mall Road evening stroll; try the Tibetan momos at the corner stalls
  • Dinner at hotel or local restaurant. Try kumaoni cuisine if you can.
Local tip: If you arrive early, walk up to Tiffin Top for the evening view. The 3 km hike takes 90 minutes but the panorama of the town at dusk is unlike anything else here.
D2

Nainital Sightseeing → Delhi Departure

  • Early breakfast, then Snow View Point by cable car — book tickets the night before in peak season
  • Naina Devi Temple — morning aarti is peaceful and incredibly moving
  • Eco Cave Garden: fascinating natural cave system, good for all ages
  • Quick lunch on Mall Road — the local bakeries near the main market are worth a stop
  • Departure for Delhi post-lunch; arrive by late evening
Do not skip the Uttarakhand Government emporium on Mall Road — best quality woollens and handicrafts at fixed, fair prices. No bargaining needed.
D1

Delhi → Nainital · Arrival and Lake Evening

  • Early morning departure from Delhi, 5–6 am pick-up from your location
  • Scenic drive through Kumaon foothills — windows down, pine air from Bhimtal onwards
  • Arrive Nainital early afternoon; check in, freshen up, light lunch
  • Afternoon at Naini Lake — boating, lakeside café, just existing
  • Naina Devi Temple just above the lakeside; evening prayers are special
  • Mall Road evening walk, shopping, dinner
If you arrive early, book the earliest possible boat ride the next morning. The lake in pre-tourist-hours calm shimmers like nowhere else.
D2

Full Sightseeing · Nainital and Bhimtal

  • Snow View Point (2,270 m) — cable car up, walk options on the way down
  • Eco Cave Garden and Botanical Gardens
  • Drive to Bhimtal Lake (24 km) — quieter, more peaceful, has a small island with an aquarium
  • Naukuchiatal (34 km) — the nine-cornered lake surrounded by dense forest
  • Sunset point near Naukuchiatal — one of the best views in Kumaon
  • Return to Nainital; dinner and bonfire if the hotel has a facility
Bhimtal is what Nainital was 20 years ago. Less crowd, more soul. Try lunch at one of the small dhabas on the Bhimtal lake road — the dal-rice is quietly extraordinary.
D3

Kainchi Dham · Departure

  • Visit Kainchi Dham (17 km) — the ashram of Neem Karoli Baba, spiritually powerful regardless of your beliefs
  • Khurpatal viewpoint en route — perfect for the last set of mountain photographs
  • Hotel check-out by 11 am; light lunch in town
  • Depart for Delhi post-lunch; arrive by late evening
Steve Jobs visited Kainchi Dham as a young man. Mark Zuckerberg too. The place has a very specific energy worth an hour of your time regardless of what you believe.
D1

Delhi → Nainital · Slow Arrival

  • 5 am departure, leisurely drive with stops at Moradabad and Rampur
  • The winding ghat road from Kathgodam to Nainital is spectacular — enjoy every curve
  • Hotel check-in, rest, then afternoon around the lake
  • Evening: explore the old Bhotia market above Mall Road — very few tourists go here
D2

Nainital Full Day Sightseeing

  • Snow View Point by cable car at 6:30 am — misty views, almost no people
  • Tiffin Top (Dorothy’s Seat) — short but rewarding hike
  • Eco Cave, Botanical Garden, Governor’s House viewpoint
  • Afternoon: Naini Lake boating; ice cream at Roopak near the lakeside
  • Mall Road evening, shopping, dinner at Sakley’s — a Nainital institution since 1950
Sakley’s is one of the oldest restaurants on Mall Road. Unchanged decor, legendary apple crumble, and old Bollywood playing on a small speaker in the corner.
D3

Bhimtal, Naukuchiatal and Sattal

  • Sattal — seven interconnected lakes in a forest valley; birding paradise with 300+ species
  • Bhimtal Lake with its island aquarium — good for families and couples alike
  • Naukuchiatal for lunch and a lakeside walk
  • Return via Kainchi Dham, catching the evening aarti
  • Bonfire back at hotel; local kumaoni folk performance if the hotel arranges it
Sattal is criminally underrated. If you are a birdwatcher, you will see species you have never encountered. Even if you are not, the forest silence there is deeply restorative.
D4

Mukteshwar (Optional) and Delhi Departure

  • Optional morning drive to Mukteshwar (51 km) — best Himalayan views in the region; Trisul and Nanda Devi visible on clear days
  • Chauli Ki Jali — the rocky ledge where forest meets cliff edge
  • Return to Nainital, check-out, lunch
  • Drive back to Delhi; arrive by evening or night
D1

Delhi → Nainital · Your Mountain Welcome

  • Early morning pick-up from Delhi in a private cab
  • Welcome drink at hotel; room decorated with flowers and petals on arrival
  • Private sunset boat ride on Naini Lake — we book the whole boat, just for two
  • Candle-lit welcome dinner at a lakeside restaurant
We pre-arrange the boat timing to match golden hour. The lake in fading light, with the town reflected in the water — it is the kind of moment you will talk about for years.
D2

Snow View, Spa and a Hidden Café

  • Slow morning breakfast; cable car to Snow View Point, hot maggi at the top
  • Afternoon couple’s spa — aromatherapy and body massage
  • Tea at a tucked-away café with valley views we will only tell you about on trip
  • Evening stroll on Mall Road; buy something for each other from the Tibetan stalls
  • Private dinner with bonfire arrangement at hotel
D3

Mukteshwar · Departure

  • Drive to Mukteshwar — on a clear morning you will see the full Himalayan arc together
  • Chauli Ki Jali viewpoint — dramatic cliffside views, feels cinematic
  • Lunch at a small café in Mukteshwar town: very peaceful, almost no tourists
  • Return to Nainital; hotel check-out
  • Drive back to Delhi with photographs and a few kilos of kumaoni food to carry home
Mukteshwar’s apple orchards are a revelation in the right season. The silence up there — no traffic, just wind and birdsong — is the perfect note to end a honeymoon trip on.

Where You Stay

Hotels We Actually Trust

We have stayed in most of them ourselves. Every property we recommend has been visited, evaluated, and found genuinely good — not just on paper.

PREMIUM · 4-STAR

Lake-Facing Luxury Hotels

Mallital, Nainital — Lakeside

Wake up to the lake right outside your window. These properties sit directly on the lakefront — you can hear the water and watch the morning mist lift from your bed. Rooms are spacious, service is attentive, and the views from the dining area make breakfast an occasion.

Lake ViewRestaurantRoom ServiceParking
HERITAGE · 3-STAR

Heritage Mountain Retreats

Upper Mall Road · Tallital

British-era architecture meets modern comfort. Wood-panelled rooms, fireplaces that actually work in winter, creaky floorboards that tell stories. Some of the best-loved stays in Nainital are these old bungalow properties where the owner knows every guest by name.

BOUTIQUE · BHIMTAL

Bhimtal Lakeside Resorts

Bhimtal Lake Road, Bhimtal — 24 km from Nainital

Completely different world from Nainital town. These properties sit overlooking Bhimtal Lake in near-complete silence. Bonfire by the water at night, birdsong instead of traffic, forest paths from the door. If you value peace over convenience, this is your base.

Real Stories

What Our Travellers Say

These are real messages people sent us after getting back — edited only for length, nothing else.

We booked the honeymoon package and the arrangements exceeded what we expected. The room had rose petals and a little welcome note. The private boating at sunset — I have never seen my wife so happy. The water was completely still, the mountains were gold. It did not feel like a tourist package at all. It felt like someone had planned it just for us. Which, I suppose, they had.

RK
Rohit & Kavya

I travelled with my parents (both in their 60s) and my kids (ages 6 and 9). I was nervous about the mixed group, different pace requirements. But the family package handled everything. The cab was comfortable for my parents, the hotel had lift access, and the Eco Cave was genuinely exciting for the kids. My mother said it was the best trip of her life. She texted me about it three separate times after we returned.

PS
Priya S.

My company’s annual outing — 28 people, two departments that do not usually get along. TraveloTrend managed the logistics without a single hitch. The Bhimtal bonfire night is when things really broke open: people from different teams were singing old film songs at 11 pm in the mountains. Three colleagues have already booked personal family trips through them since.

Frequently Asked

Questions We Get Most Often

Real questions, real answers. If yours is not here — just WhatsApp us. We reply fast.

How far is Nainital from Delhi?
+
Nainital is approximately 300 km from Delhi. By road it takes 7–8 hours depending on traffic. The nearest railway station is Kathgodam (35 km from Nainital) — trains from Delhi take about 6 hours and are very comfortable. From Kathgodam, it is a 1.5-hour taxi ride.
Is Nainital good for a honeymoon?
+
Absolutely. Nainital is one of North India’s most romantic hill destinations — lake views, misty mornings, candlelit lakeside restaurants, private boat rides, cosy heritage hotels with fireplaces. Our honeymoon package is our most-enquired package. Best seasons: March–June and October–November.
How many days should I plan for Nainital?
+
A minimum of 3 nights / 4 days gives you enough time to cover the main spots and also visit Bhimtal, Naukuchiatal, and Kainchi Dham. For a comprehensive experience including Mukteshwar and Sattal, plan 4 nights / 5 days. A 2-day weekend trip is also very popular for a quick Delhi escape.
What is the best time to visit Nainital?
+
March to June for pleasant summer weather. October and November for crystal-clear skies and the best Himalayan views. December to February brings snowfall and a quiet, magical atmosphere. Avoid July–August due to heavy monsoon rains and occasional road closures.
What is included in the package?
+
All TraveloTrend packages include hotel accommodation (twin sharing), daily breakfast, private cab from Delhi to Nainital and back, all local sightseeing transfers, Naini Lake boat ride, and 24/7 travel support. Dinners, lunches, and entry fees are additional unless stated in the specific package.
Is Nainital suitable for families with young children?
+
Very much so. Eco Cave Garden, the ropeway to Snow View, Naini Lake boating, Bhimtal’s island aquarium, and the Zoo near Tiffin Top are all fantastic for children. The town is walkable, safe, and manageable. We have a dedicated family package with connecting rooms and child-friendly dining options.
Can I customise my package?
+
Completely. Our packages are starting templates, not fixed itineraries. You can add or remove destinations, change hotel categories, adjust the number of days, include specific meals, request particular rooms, or combine Nainital with Corbett, Mukteshwar, or Rishikesh. Just tell us on WhatsApp.
How do I book with TraveloTrend?
+
The easiest way is to WhatsApp us at +91 7703990029. Tell us your travel dates, group size, and preferences. We send a custom itinerary and quote within a few hours. No deposit is required to get a quote. Booking is confirmed with a small advance once you are happy with the plan.
Is Nainital safe to visit?
+
Yes, Nainital is very safe for tourists including solo women travellers. The town is busy, well-lit, and policed. Exercise normal precautions. The main consideration is mountain driving — roads can be narrow and steep. We use experienced hill drivers who know these roads extremely well.
What is Kainchi Dham and should I visit?
+
Kainchi Dham is the ashram of Neem Karoli Baba, 17 km from Nainital. It is a deeply peaceful and significant place — visited by Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Julia Roberts, among others. Even for non-religious travellers, the atmosphere is striking. We include it in all 3-night packages.
What are the top places near Nainital?
+
Bhimtal (24 km), Naukuchiatal (34 km), Sattal (22 km), Kainchi Dham (17 km), Mukteshwar (51 km), Jim Corbett (65 km), Ranikhet (60 km). Most can be done as day trips from Nainital, which is why 3–4 nights lets you see real Kumaon — not just the lake.
What is the difference between Nainital and Bhimtal?
+
Nainital is busier and more commercial with better shopping and restaurant variety. Bhimtal is quieter, surrounded by forest, with a more local and peaceful feel — and its lake is actually larger than Naini Lake. Most travellers enjoy spending time at both. Different moods, different paces.
Can I visit Snow View Point in summer?
+
Snow View Point (2,270 m) is accessible year-round by cable car. In summer, you will not see snow at the viewpoint itself, but on clear days snow-capped peaks are visible in the distance. October–February offers the best combination of snow visibility and clear mountain panoramas.
Do you arrange pickup from Kathgodam railway station?
+
Yes. We arrange pickup from Pantnagar Airport (65 km) and Kathgodam Railway Station (35 km). Delhi pickups from your home, hotel, or airport are included in all packages. Just share your flight or train details with us in advance.
What is the weather like in Nainital in winter?
+
Winters (December–February) are cold, with temperatures between 2–12°C. Snowfall occurs occasionally, particularly in January. The town is quieter, the air is crisp, and there is a particular charm to Nainital in winter that peak-season visitors never get to experience.
Why TraveloTrend

We Know These Mountains. Personally.

TraveloTrend was born from a personal love for Uttarakhand. Our founders have driven the Kathgodam ghat road more times than they can count. They know which hotel’s lake-view room is actually lake-view and which is just described that way. That local knowledge is what every package is built on.

Local Expertise You Can Feel
Not generic packages from a spreadsheet. Every itinerary is built from firsthand knowledge, including the small things no travel guide mentions.
Handpicked Hotels Only
We have personally visited every property we recommend. If we would not be comfortable there, you will not find it in our packages.
Fully Flexible Customisation
Change the days, swap destinations, add a restaurant, request specific rooms. Nothing is fixed until you say so.
WhatsApp Support, Always On
One real person, available on WhatsApp, who knows your trip details and can help with anything from a hotel issue to a restaurant recommendation.

Peak season dates fill fast — especially lake-view rooms for October and May.
