Introduction :
|
|
A small town in the hills of Kumaon, Nainital is a lovely hill station
surrounded by mountains on three sides. Nainital was discovered in 1841
by a Britisher called Lord Baron. The weather, the surrounding and the
mesmerising beauty of this area attracted the British administrator who
turned this place into the summer capital of the United Province.
Nainital swiftly became popular escape from the summer heat of the
lowlands, and continues to be one of India's main hill stations.
Surrounded by seven hills, the sparkling waters of a natural lake make
it a gem among hill resorts. Throughout the year, and especially between
March and July, hordes of tourists and honeymooners pack the Mall. |
