Places to see in & around Naukuchiatal


Naukuchiatal - The taal is heaven when the lotus is in flower. There are various species of fish here of varying sizes. The water rich, bluish green colour is surrounded by hills, and has many birds around. It is said that if you see all the nine corners of the lake it is a blessing as no one has been able to ascertain the point where the nine corners are visible. Boating can be done in the lake. Tourist Rest House run by KMVN just overlooks the lake.


Bhimtal Lake (4 kms from Naukuchiatal) - Named after the Pandava brothers this emerald green Bhimtal Lake is the largest lake in Uttarakhand, ideal for boating. Its other attractions include the 17th century Bhimeshwar Temple complex along with a 40-foot high dam. It is close to Nainital and there are a few stay options also available.


Ranikhet (40 kms from Naukuchiatal) - Ranikhet is a tranquil little hill station that offers some of the most excellent vistas of the Himalayas. One can also enjoy the lovely walkways here.

The next lake is the Panna or Garude Lake. As you move down, there is a cluster of three lakes known as Ram, Laxman and Sita Lake.

Mukteshwar is a pleasing place situated at an elevation of 2,285 meters above sea level. Its name comes from the 350-year old temple Mukteshwar Dham, whose residing deity is Lord Shiva.
