Surrounded by seven hills with panoramic views, Naini Lake (short for Nainital Lake) is a beautiful natural freshwater lake. Nainital Lake is a popular spot for romantic travelers from all over the world. It is one of the most visited lakes in India. Nainital Lake offers numerous opportunities for sailing, kayaking, boating, and paddling.
This moon-shaped freshwater lake was formed by tectonic movements from a depression in Nainital. It is fed by fresh streams from the high foothills of the Himalayas. Naini Lake is surrounded by three mountain peaks – Naini Peak to the northwest, Tiffin Top to the southwest, and snow-capped peaks to the north.
This is one of the best places to visit when in Nainital. The river is the lifeline of the city and offers an enchanting view of the entire city as you travel by boat. The colorful city comes alive as you watch the breathtaking sunset while sailing.
The Nainital Lake is an enchanting beauty surrounded by seven different peaks: Ayarpata, Deopata, Handi Bandi, Cheena Peak, Alma, Laria Kanta, and Sher Ka Danda. The lake itself can be divided into two different sections, the northern part called Mallital and the southern region called Tallital. The coniferous trees that cover the hillside lend a rugged beauty to the place. Lake Naini is now a major tourist destination for people from all over the country.
