Bhimtal

22.5 km away from Nainital. It is located at an elevation of 1,371 m. The lake is larger than Nainai Lake. As you enter the little town, clouds of translucent sliver-green leaves wave you on and on, right to the southern end of the expansive lake. Boating and fishing is possible. An islet in the center is a quaint picnic spot surrounded by dence oak forest. The place is the habitant of wildlife like leopard, beer, deer, etc. Fishing and migratory birds are the main attraction. Regular bus services are available. Stay at tourist bungalows.
