our Nainital trip

Nainital is in the Uttaranchal state.The name Nainital denotes nine lakes of which one has access to only bheem taal ,sath taal, naukutchiataal and the nainital lake.here we do not find motor boats as they pollute the lakes. we have rowing boats,shikara and paddle boats The lakes are about 23 kms from each other.As in every hill station there is the mall road which is the shopping centre. My husband Mohan ,my son Srikrishna and i left for Delhi by air from Hyderabad and then we got into Sampark express, a 6 hrs journey by Ac chair car. Refreshments are continously served there. Late in the evening we reached Kathgodam 35km away from Nainital. An Innova car was waiting for us and it took us up the hill through the ghat road and soon we reached our destination,The huge white palace known as Manu Maharani.It was a colossal place We were looking at it with awe.we rested that night in one of its rooms. The next day we visited each lake and spent our time going in different boats. In the mall road we bought some sweaters The second day we visited the nanda devi temple and we want to visit Jim Corbett's park but it was close we were disappointed but we went to Mukteshwar which was situated on a very high level we had to climb so many steps to reach here to have darshan of lord Shiva. It was one of the oldest temples.This place was in the Kumaon region where a man eating tiger was killed by Jim Corbett.
The next day we went by cable car to the snow top it was an exciting journey.but it was not the season to see snow.we have different forms of weather in the same day we experienced the sunshine,rain and the cold air blowing all in the same day.After spending three days there we went back to Delhi and spent a full day sightseeing in Delhi and flew back to our place Hyderabad.
