Nainital district

A lake district and jungle in the Himalayan foothills, offering the serene waters of Nainital and the wild thrill of the Corbett Tiger Reserve.

Nainital district is located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India, with a lake district in the Himalayan foothills to the north and plains to the south. The hill station of Nainital surrounds Naini Lake, featuring the Naina Devi Temple, the Mall Road, and Snow View Point for distant views of the snow-capped peaks, with Naina Peak offering an even wider panorama. The surrounding Bhimtal, Sattal, and Mukteshwar are quieter, and Kainchi Dham is a famous pilgrimage site. The Bijrani zone in the south belongs to Jim Corbett National Park, near which lie the Garjiya Devi Temple and the Corbett Museum. March to June and September to November are the best times to visit; avoid the monsoon season due to landslide risks. Gateways are Kathgodam and Ramnagar railway stations.
