Himalaya Darshan

Reviewed By 70dipen - Nainital District, India

At a distance of 8 Kms. from Nainital city,Himalaya Darshan is a viewpoint for every tourist who visit Nainital it's on the way to Kilbury, here one can enjoy panoramic view of Himalaya Peak mountain snow-caped with scenic beauty and horse riding is also available on rent and telescope are also given for rent,its very cold place in Nainital during winter and one can feel heavy wind blowing, to reach this place you can hire local taxi service from Nainital taxi stand, self driving is also possible to reach this place but be careful while driving because roads are very narrow with sharp bends on height of 2000 Ft from Nainital lake.Avoid to visit this place on rainy season.One opposite side of the mountain one can see beautiful Naini lake which looks like Mango shape and can feel to touch the clouds.There are small tea and snacks stall are available, also don;t forget to bring drinking water with you.

Indian Veterinary Research Institute

Reviewed By Suresh18

My parents moved to Mukteswar in 1949. I was 5 years old. My father worked in engineering department that supplied gas and electricity to the institute. My elder brother joined the institute and served about 40 years. At an early childhood, I made up my mind to chose veterinary profession. Due to financial support of my father and elder brother I finished B.V.Sc&A.H from Mhow and obtained Master’s in bacteriology from I.VR.I, Mukteshwar in 1967. I enjoyed life in Mukteswar and left the position of Assistant Bacteriologist in 1972 for higher studies in U.SA. I miss Mukteswar life and old friends / families. Last year, my nephew accompanied me for the visit to Mukteswar. There has been a tremendous changes in Mukteswar. It is a natural tourist place with fresh air and a clean environment. I love my childhood home IVRI, Mukteswar. Suresh Dua

Sattal Christian Ashram

Reviewed By deepakdan - Agra, India

The peace & tranquility of this religious place is beyond imagination, The Hills , the fresh water lake, the woods, the narrow lanes, the sounds of birds & animals, fresh thin air which is suppose to have healing properties all around makes this place a true paradise on earth. No TV & No news Paper makes this place even more serene, because you are forced to know yourself & the people around you which otherwise would not have been possible. The boating, Rock climbing & fishing the local fish - Mahseer are the activities for the young. People managing this Ashram are very friendly & helpful.

Karkotaka Temple

Reviewed By vinitas168

The trek up to the mountain top to the temple dedicated to Nag Devta is fairly arduous with steep, narrow winding walking trails covered with dry leaves and grass which makes it slippery adding to the challenge of the climb. It takes a little time for beginner trekkers to get the rhythm and tempo to remain steady and keep the balance. It requires one pointed attention to the trail and chanting the chosen deity's name or anything else to remain consistent. However once the flow is set it is a delight to walk through the forest. The senses are tantalized by breathtaking views, music of the birds, the aroma of trees , leaves, earth, the feel of the tree trunks, the soothing cool water from the roots of trees. It is what the Japanese call 'forest bathing'. It is cleansing at all levels leaving one calmer and happier. Once atop the hill at the Nag Devta temple it is peaceful, serene and cool, a blessing from the deity there. The view is mesmerizing and the simple hill folk are utterly charming, friendly and warm. If fond of trekking, it is trek worth doing. It takes approximately two and a half hours to three hours for beginner trekkers.

Located on the way to Nakuchiataal in Bhimtaal. One of the most iconic sight seeing location. The temple is surrounded by localities but once you enter in, it's very peaceful and quiet.

Mukteshwar Inspection Bungalow

Reviewed By Toppopankaj - Gurugram (Gurgaon), India

To be frank I have lost count of how many times I have been to Mukteshwar post 2000. The last time I visited this lovely place was in November 2018. While there are many place worth visiting in Mukteshwar but inspection bungalow and the little open patch of land infront of it is truly the jewel in the crown. It is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset in the midst of the mighty peaks of the Himalayas. Infact you can spend the whole day in the lawns of the inspection bungalow. Now the interesting part. Did you know that Jim Corbett, stayed in this bungalow when he had come to Mukteshwar to shoot the Champawat man eating tigress. Further parts of the old bollywood movie Masoom was shot in these very lawns. A part of the song "tujhse naarz nahin zindagi" was shot here. Lastly a few kilometres before the inspection bungalow, at Sargakeht, you can view the Annapurna group of peaks in Nepal from Mukteshwar. Yes you heard it right you can views peaks of Nepal from Mukteshwar.
