Uttarakhand · Lake hill station
About this trip
A lake in a bowl of hills, and one of the most reliably busy hill stations in North India because it is a manageable drive from Delhi. That accessibility is also the drawback: in May, June and around Diwali it is genuinely crowded, and the Mall Road becomes a slow shuffle. Off-season it is lovely. The lake itself is the centre of everything — boating, the walk around it, and the ropeway up to Snow View for the Himalayan skyline on a clear morning. Two nights covers it, with Naini Peak or the Kilbury birding area for anyone wanting to walk rather than shop. Across two nights Nainital opens up beyond a flying visit: a relaxed arrival, a full day for the main sights and a second morning to linger over whatever caught your eye, rather than ticking everything off in a rush. The day-by-day below is a flexible framework — priced on enquiry and confirmed with you at quotation for your exact dates, pace and party.

Questions
May and June, and the Diwali week. It is close enough to Delhi that the whole plain arrives at once. March, September and October are far more pleasant.
