Description

Located at a distance of 23 kilometres from Nainital in Uttarakhand, Bhimtal is an offbeat version of Nainital, most famous for the picturesque Bhimtal Lake. Bounded with a dense forest of oaks, pine and shrubs, a small island in the middle of the lake and a few ancient temples - that is Bhimtal for you!Perched at the height of 1370m above the sea level, Bhimtal is an idyllic and less-crowded version of Nainital. In stark contrast to Nainital, Bhimtal is a scenic hill station, the charm of which lies in the tranquil atmosphere. Apart from Bhimtal Lake, which is a popular attraction for paddle boating, birding and nature walk, the 17th-century Bhimeshwar Temple is another must-visit spot in the hilltown. Well connected by road, Bhimtal is an ideal weekend getaway from Delhi.
