          an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Originally located at a lower elevation, it was moved to a hilltop after a deity appeared 
          in someone’s dream and instructed them to build the temple there. It is linked to Golu Devta, the god of justice in 
          Uttarakhand. Legend says that Golu Devta was brought here and enshrined. The forest path leading to the temple, adorned

Adwani

This temple is dedicated to the snake deity, highly revered in Hinduism. The path to the temple passes 
          through dense forests of oak, deodar, and pine. While it’s safe during the day, the risk of encountering wild animals 
          increases after sunset, so it’s advised not to visit late. According to legend, a child born with a half-human, 
          half-snake body was placed here, leading to the temple's establishment. Devotees believe that members of the Doval 
          dynasty are immune to snake venom due to their faith in the deity. From Delhi, the temple can be accessed via Rishikesh 
          and Shivpuri.

Situated on the banks of the Malini River, Kanvashram is considered the birthplace of Bharat, 
          after whom India was named. While it offers scenic views and an annual fair, it may not appeal to everyone. 
          My visit revealed little more than a serene river, a bridge, and a few couples enjoying the view. Visit only 
          if you’re looking for something different and have extra time.

Naini Lake

It is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas in Hinduism. Lord Vishnu cut the body of Sati into 
            51 parts. When Lord Shiva took away her body, the eyes of the goddess fell here. 
            The Hindi word for eyes is Nayan. On that basis, the city became known as Nainital, 
            and the temple as Naina Devi Temple. The lake also became known as Naini or Nainital 
            Lake. People with eye problems often come here. It's a beautiful and calm place that
             you must visit if you are an optimist. Stay here and take in the beautiful view of 
             Naini Lake.

Naina Devi Temple

This was the most popular viewpoint in Nainital, but it has now become a part of history 
            due to a major landslide in August 2024. The landslide caused significant damage, but sources 
            say it will be redeveloped near the top of the hill. However, you can still enjoy the trek and 
            capture the beautiful green forest with your eyes as well as your camera. Words cannot fully 
            describe the beauty of this trek. From this site, you could see the whole of Nainital, 
            including the very popular school of Nainital known as Sherwood.

            Himalayan range and Naini Lake from this point. An adventure park is also available 
            at Snow View Point. There is a market here, but it seems expensive compared to other 
            places. Naini Lake is visible from this site. Kids may insist on riding toys, or you 
            can engage them in gaming. The Dinosaur Park is free if you come via the trolley. If 
            you are at Snow View Nainital, enjoy the Tower 360 to go even higher and get a better 
            view of Nainital.

Snow View Point

This is going to be a wonderful but tiring journey because it covers a large area and 
            the zoo is not on flat ground. Sometimes you have to climb up, and sometimes you have to 
            go down. After visiting the zoo, you may not have the energy to enjoy any other point on foot.

Nainital Zoo

Mall Road is crowded during the season. It is a mix of nature and the latest fashion. 
            On one side, there is a lake with many selfie points, and on the other side, there are 
            shops and hotels. If you look up a little, you will see mountains laden with trees. It's as 
            if they are saying, "Stop for a while and look at me." Numerous shops and showrooms are 
            available here. Taxis and rickshaws are also available. Lake-view hotels are available, but 
            at night you might be disturbed by the traffic sound in normal hotels during peak times.

The Mall Road

This is a natural cave with an artificial touch. We do not recommend it for elderly or 
           physically challenged people because it is very narrow. There are multiple caves here, 
           so you can fully enjoy this place. At some spots, you will see natural water dripping, 
           and you will also find slippery surfaces, which makes it adventurous. The artificial sounds of 
           animals in the caves will give you the pleasure of a different world. If you are a fan of 
           Discovery Channel, you will definitely miss Bear Grylls. If you are overweight, you may face 
           some difficulties, but be brave and go for a walk.

Eco Cave Gardens

This is a very old building (1848) made by a British ruler, situated on a large ground.

St. John in the Wilderness Church

Built during the British period, this building was the residence of the Governor. 
            You can visit to get a luxurious view inside the old Gothic architecture, but whenever 
            the governor changes, the rules for tourists to visit the place also change.

There are 580 bird species in Pangot. It is well-connected and accessible from Nainital. 
            Before reaching Pangot, you can listen to the birds singing. It's important to note that 
            the birds are not in cages because it is a sanctuary, not a zoo. The journey from Nainital to 
            Pangot will be very exciting. When you are trekking in Pangot, please be careful, as 
            dangerous wild animals might be present. Naina Devi Jalkund (Kilbury Reservoir) is quite large, 
            and you may not be able to explore it completely in one day. But listening to the chirping of 
            birds will make you forget all your pain. You can book accommodations from Sigri; 
            they will provide you with the best trek.
