| Nainital is a lovely hill-station
surrounded by mountains on three sides. Once
this area had many lakes and it was called
the 'city of 60 lakes' or 'Chakta', though
most have disappeared now. Today, the life
of Nainital revolves around the lake
of Naini. But there are few other
lakes around Nainital which are equally beautiful
and attractive as the Naini lake. |

Nainital was discovered
in 1841 by a Britisher called Lord Barron.
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.
Being a major tourist place, Nainital
is always bustling with visitors.

Naina Devi Temple |

| The attractive lake of Nainital
is said to be the eyes of Goddess Sati, wife
of Lord Shiva. Sati jumped into the sacrificial
bonfire. Lord Shiva, to mourn the death of
his beloved wife, carried the body across
the country. The remains of her body fell
at various places which, today, are sacred
worship places for the Hindus. Here, the temple
is dedicated to Goddess Naina Devi. |

Mukteshwar,
52 km from Nainital, has the famous Shiva temple.
Once this place was the cantonment for the British
troops. Today, it has been converted into a Vetenary
Research Institute. Mukeshwar is full of natural
beauty and from here the snow-clad peaks of the
Himalayas are clearly visible.
