When was the last time you picked up a backpack to get away from your daily routine without a plan? Doesn’t it feel nice to unchain yourself sometimes and just head out without a checklist?
For those who live in Delhi-NCR, the hill state of Uttarakhand is a bucket full of travel options. Most people think of Rishikesh, and it is quite convenient to reach from the national capital. Mussoorie, and of course Nainital, are among other places that welcome huge footfall this time of the year.
Not just weekends, tourists have started frequenting these places even in the middle of the week. Nainital is about eight-nine hours by road from Delhi, and it attracts travellers from both ends of the spectrum – those who want to have a busy schedule packed with activities, and those who just want to have some peace and quiet, may be with a book and a cup of coffee. The to-do list can include nature walks, boating, and visits to nearby sanctuaries or viewpoints.
For people in the second list, who want to do more with less, a walk by the Naini Lake, shopping at Mall Road, small bites at vibrant cafes, and trekking to nearby places do fill the heart and how.
Church, mosque, temple, monastery – all can be explored within a few kilometres. There is a lot to eat, pray and love here. (To plan your travel, click)
Takeaways:
The area around the bus stand gets quite crowded with taxi drivers looking for passengers. It’s good to be aware of the price-list before trying to make a bargain.
There are bicycles too available for rent to explore the city.
One needs to be cautious while travelling via the Nainital-Haldwani stretch once it gets dark. The stretch could definitely have use street lights. Moreover, trucks are out post sunset.
