Nainital Photo 1



Nainital, a hill station town in India, about 300 km from Delhi.

I've visited India as a tourist about 3 or 4 times now, but have so far managed to see only a tiny fraction of this vast land.

On this particular visit  a few years ago, I remember climbing Naina Peak (also known as China Peak) for a bird's-eye view of the beautiful green lake below.  The peak is the highest point in Nainital at 2,615m (8,579 ft).

There was also a cable car (I think it's still there) elsewhere in the town.  Had an aerial ride on that on my last morning there, and as far as I recall, it had actually snowed a little not many hours before then.....cold, sparkling air....refreshing......
