About Nainital
Nainital is a beautiful hill district situated in the Central Himalayas. Nainital is known as India's 'Lake District' because numerous lakes are spread across it's boundaries with an area of 11.73 sq km.The town is set around Naini lake (tal) and hence the name and is encircled by seven hills. According to Hindu legend when the body of Shiva's consort,Sati,was dismembered,one of her eyeballs fell into the Himalayan foothills and the emerald green Naini Lake (or Tal) was formed. Whether this is true or not there is no denying that Nainital is unbelievably beautiful and a magnetic draw for thousands of Indians.
