Nainital, Hill station in Kumaon division, India
Nainital centers around a mango-shaped lake at 2,084 meters elevation, encircled by mountains including Naina, Deopatha, and Ayarpatha peaks.
The settlement emerged in 1841 when P. Barron, a sugar merchant, constructed the first European residence, establishing Nainital as a summer retreat.
The Naina Devi Temple marks one of 52 Shakti Peeths in India, where the goddess Sati's eyes are said to have fallen.
The town connects to multiple hill stations within hours, making it a central point for exploring the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand.
The Governor's House contains 113 rooms within landscaped gardens and golf links, replicating the design of Buckingham Palace.
