Nainital
is a lovely hill station surrounded by mountains on
three sides. Once this area had
many lakes and it was called the City of 60 lakes or
'Chakta'. Most have disappeared though. Today the life
of Nainital revolves around the lake of Naini. But there
are few other lakes around Nainital which are equally
beautiful and attractive as the Naini lake.More
