Day 1
Visit Naina Devi Temple
Explore The Tibetan Market and enjoy Momos and Thukpa and Tamang Momos (behind the Tibetan Market). I prefer Chicken Steamed Momos along with Chicken Thukpa.
Go for a walk along the lake on the Thandi Sadak which is besides the Naina Devi Temple.
For boating, go to the boat house club and at the reception, request them for Yachting. If a boatman is available, he will take you on the yachting. It is a better experience than normal boating. If that does not work out then you can get a normal paddle boat from the boat quay behind Capitol Cinema.
After this you can some pastries at Sakley's Bakery along with tea or coffee. I prefer Blueberry Cheesecake or Chocolate Eclairs.
Visit Snow View by the cable car near Sakley's. Enjoy the 360 ride there which gives you a beautiful view of Nainital as well as the Himalayas provided the sky is clear.
Explore the Mall Road.
You can find some local handmade candles at Mehrotra's House of Wax at the Bara Bazaar, if you'd like to take them as a gift for your near and dear ones.
At the Bara Bazaar you can also try some Chocolate and Bal Mithai from Mamus and get some if you'd like to take it along with you.
For dinner you can either have it at one of the restaurants in the Mall road (Sakley's, Machaan, Embassy, Cafe Lakeside or Zooby's Kitchen) or Anupam at Bara Bazaar for Kumaoni Thali. If you have pre ordered dinner at home, we'll be looking forward to seeing you there.
Day 2
Before sunrise (check the time in google) be at Himalaya Darshan.
Follow my video :If you feel like you can go for the Naina Peak Trek (4 Kms one way) (as you are just below it) after witnessing the beauty of the rolling mountains from Himalaya Darshan or you can come home, freshen up, have breakfast and get along with the day. You can follow my guided trek video for Naina Peak as shown below:
It takes about 75 minutes to do this climb. So your total time spent on this trek will be around 3 to 3.5 hours considering the waiting and sightseeing.
If you'd like to come back home for breakfast after Himalaya Darshan and do Camel's Back and Cheena Peak Trek together, then please follow this video :
This trek takes about 5.5 to 6 hours to complete with a walk of about 12 kms, hence you should start this trek by 10:30 A.M.If you'd like to do a small trek then you can trek to Tiffin Top, which is in the same Ayarpatta hill, where our home is located. Here is a video guide for you to follow:
If you would like to visit the Raj Bhawan ie. The Governor's House too then you should descend down to it via the Sherwood College way. Ask the shopkeepers at Tiffin Top for guidance.
For lunch you can come back home if you have pre-ordered or try out one of the restaurants mentioned on the Day 1 plan.
The afternoon can be spent in relaxing if you have done the treks. If not, then you can take the rickshaw from the Mallital rickshaw stand till the St. Francis Church. Visit the Church.
From here the shuttles for the Nainital Zoo also start. You can purchase the round trip tickets for the shuttles and visit the zoo. Tickets for the zoo are separately sold at the zoo.
After the Zoo, you can come down to the Mall Road and enjoy your lunch at one of the restaurants there.
You can also visit the Hanuman Gari Temple, which was also established by Neeb Karori Maharaj Ji, which is just 3.5 Kms from the Mall Road, on the Nainital- Haldwani Road.
Day 3
Today, you can visit Kainchi Dhaam (19 kms from Nainital)
After this you can visit the Ghorakhal Temple
There is a Tea Garden that is open for public with a nice cafe, near the Ghorakhal Temple. You can visit that too.
Next head towards Saat Tal. Here you can do kayaking, boating, zip lining and zorbing and some other adventure activities. If you are into birding and wildlife, then Saat Tal is a heaven for these activities too.
For lunch, head to Machaan restaurant at Bhimtal.
Visit Bhimtal's aquarium at the lake and a little walk along the dam at Bhimtal.
