3. Bhimtaal Lake Tour, Nainital.
A trip to Nainital is literally incomplete without a visit to the majestic Bhimtal Lake. Recorded as the largest lake in Nainital district and the second largest in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, Bhimtal rests poetically flanked by the serene Kumaon hills. What makes Bhimtal more fascinating is the existence of a small island right in the middle of this multifarious fish-filled lake. This island - the erstwhile resting ground for a restaurant that was the toast of tourists who would flock to grub at a most unusual and beautiful eating joint - is now home to a grand island aquarium. Today, the aquarium plays host to a large variety of aquatic life from places like South Africa, Mexico and even China and easily compensates as an equally popular tourist attraction. Just a little away from Bhimtal Lake (about 4 kilometers or 2.4 miles), calmly sleeps Naukuchiatal, the nine-cornered lake. Naukuchiatal, the deepest lake around, attracts a large group of migratory birds every year just before autumn and offers a spectacular display for bird watchers in the endless azure expanse. Another interesting lake near Bhimtal is Sattal (about 12 kilometers or 7.4 miles away), which literally means seven lakes because that’s what it is actually – a group of seven smaller lakes.
4. Kodai Lake, Kodaikanal.
The Kodai Lake is the heart of this scenic hill station and also lends its name to the town. The star-shaped lake, nestled amongst green mountains is the place where all visitors to Kodaikanal converge. There is a lot to do around the lake as well. You can take a quick gallop on horseback or rent a bicycle to ride around the lake, or just stroll along the stone-paved promenade to soak in the beautiful mountain air. Enjoy the cool breeze and observe the boats gently float across the shimmering water. You can even rent a boat and cruise or row around the lake yourself. But if all this seems like too much activity, just park yourself in any of the surrounding restaurants and enjoy the delicacies as you savor the scenery.
