The situation is such that tourists book hotels in advance and they become so packed that other people coming here do not get a chance to stay or have to stay in very expensive rooms. Now you see, 70 percent of the hotels in Nainital are already packed and even in the hotels of Bhawali, Bhimtal and Mukteshwar, 50 percent of the hotel bookings have been done.

Now people will definitely go somewhere to escape the heat and to roam around, but getting into the crowd can take away your peace and tranquility. Therefore, if you are planning to visit Nainital, then cancel it today itself and think about visiting this one place.
