Essay on a Visit Nainital
Nainital is a famous tourist place situated in the alluring mountainous region in Uttar Pradesh. The city is established around a huge lake that lies exactly in the center of the city, named Naine Lake.
The city and the lake got its name from the local deity, Naini. I went to visit this tourist place along with my family during this summer vacation. First we went to Kathegodam, which is a nearby railway station.
Then we took a taxi to Nainital and reached there at 6 p.m. We went to the hotel that was already booked for us. We were tired and so relaxed after we reached there. Next day we set off for sightseeing.
It is said that a British officer, Barow discovered this place for the first time. It was then converted into the summer capital of Nainital region. It used to be the most favourite tourist spot for British officers. There are several picnic spots in and around Nainital.
The main attraction of this place is the ever shining Naini Lake. The lake is densely surrounded by trees. The reflection of these trees in the lake is a treat to our eyes. Boating facility is available in this lake.
We took a ride and it turned out to be a thrilling experience. We then visited the mountain called China Peak. It is situated at a height of 2611 meters. One can see the snow clad Himalayan ranges from here. The picturesque view of the city and the lake is indeed a sight to watch.
Layarikanta is another highest peak of this region. Hanuman Gadhi is the famous temple. It is always crowded with the devotees of Hanuman. Next day we visited Bhuvali, a picnic spot which is at a distance of 11 kilometers from Nainital. We also visited some other spots like Sattal, Bhimtal etc.
We were in Nainital for almost one week. The houses with red roofs, the dense green forests of Deodar, the fast flowing rivers, the vast meadows of flowers, and the snow clad mountains of Nainital seems to call us. It is really the paradise on earth. Its untouched beauty is Godly. The market place in Nainital is also very enjoyable.
Different kinds of traditional articles and crafts are available here. I loved the city very much. This trip really gave me an experience that I shall never forget in my life.
