Nainital
Row, sail, or pedal across the emerald-green Naini Lake — a pear-shaped natural lake at 1,938 m altitude, ringed by seven hills. Paddleboats, rowboats, and sailboats are available for hire. The surrounding mountain reflections on calm mornings are postcard-perfect.
Morning light makes the lake especially photogenic. Avoid peak afternoon hours when it gets crowded.
