Noida is as urban as it gets; let’s face it. Anybody would want to escape the concrete jungle, the never-ending traffic, and the daily workplace noise. And with so many possibilities only a few hours away from the bustle of Noida, where you could find yourself surrounded by lush vegetation, cold mountain air, and the quiet calm of a hill station, why stay caught in the same old routine? Greetings from Nainital, the weekend retreat for those who enjoy the outdoors and need a brief respite from the bustle of the metropolis.
The good news is that Nainital is about 6-7 hours away from Noida. Unless you like the rush of driving through those unpredictable Noida traffic jams, taking a bus or a private taxi is the ideal option to begin your trip. However, if you’re driving yourself, prepare for a picturesque journey with a rest stop in Bhimtal.
Once you get to Nainital, you can cover the following places:
- Lake Naini: Ignore Noida’s congested streets. The serene Naini Lake is the first thing that makes Nainital so charming. Your tensions will be immediately calmed by a leisurely boat ride or even a stroll around the lake. It’s the ideal place to start your getaway in nature.
- The Tiffin Top: Go to Tiffin Top, also called Dorothy’s Seat, instead of the typical tourist destinations. One of the most expansive views of the town and the surrounding hills may be had after a leisurely climb up. Far from the towers of Noida, you’ll feel as though you’ve discovered your little piece of heaven.
- Sariyatal: Sariyatal is the perfect getaway for those looking for peace. It’s a hidden treasure that provides a peaceful area for a picnic or some introspection by the lake. Its serene surroundings and placid waters are ideal for rejuvenation.
- Point of View of Snow: Snow View Point is a classic for a reason, even though it’s a little more well-known. Enjoy breathtaking vistas of the snow-covered Himalayan peaks from the top, where you can ride a cable car. To remind you why you left the city behind, it’s the ideal balance of nature and adventure.
- Zoo in Nainital: There is more to nature than just foliage. Rare species like the Himalayan Monal and others can be seen at the higher-altitude Nainital Zoo. It’s the ideal way to breathe the refreshing mountain air and receive a dose of nature.
