Naukuchiatal






Naukuchiatal or ‘lake of nine corners’ is known for its tranquility, orchards and dense jungles that surround it. 26kms from Nainital and 4 kms from Bhimtal, this body of sparking water is 1220 mts above sea level, situated within an enchating valley.

Bhimtal

4 kms from Naukuchiatal, this emerald green Bhimtal lake is ideal for boating and angling. There is a 17th century Bhimeshwar temple complex along with 40 foot high dam.

 

Sattal

It is comparable with Westmoreland of England. As one approaches Sattal, the first lake to come into view is the old Nal Damyanti Lake. On moving ahead there is the ashram of Stanley Johns an American Missionary. Next lakes are Panna or Garude Lake. As we move down, there is a cluster of three lakes; these lakes are Ram, Laxman and Sita Lake.
