Discover the emerald mirror of the Himalayas — Naini Lake — nestled at 2,084 metres in the heart of Kumaon. Just 300 km from Delhi, Nainital is the perfect escape for every kind of traveller.
Cradled within seven hills — Saptashring — and centred around the soulful Naini Lake, Nainital is Uttarakhand's most iconic hill station. At an altitude of 2,084 metres, it offers cool mountain air, forested ridges and the unique visual spectacle of a pear-shaped glacial lake perfectly framed by the Kumaon Himalayas.
The distance from Delhi to Nainital is approximately 300 km via NH9, making it one of the most accessible mountain destinations from the capital. The drive through Moradabad, Rampur and Kathgodam is a scenic introduction to the Kumaon foothills — you're rewarded with the first glimpse of Naini Lake as you ascend the winding hill roads.
Unlike busier hill stations, Nainital retains a charming Victorian colonial soul — from the old Raj-era buildings on Mall Road to the historic St. John in the Wilderness church. It's a destination that feels unhurried, warm and genuinely welcoming, whether you're on your honeymoon, a family holiday or a solo adventure.
