Nainital is a hill resort town built around a natural pear-shaped lake, the Naini Lake, set in a hollow of the Kumaon Hills at 2,084 metres. The forested hillsides descending to the water and the ring of colonial-era hotels and promenades along the lakefront have made it one of the most enduringly popular hill destinations in northern India. The Snow View Point, reachable by cable car, offers panoramic views of Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi on clear winter days.
