Literally, next door neighbor of famous Nainital (22 kms), Bhimtal is an experience in itself.

Packed with the same pristine aura and salubrious whispers, Bhimtal takes its name from mighty Bhim (one of the Pandavas). This picturesque lake perked by an island is believed to be full of Mahabharata legands.

Today this lake interlude has emerged as a 'different' tourist destination.

Boat around the lake, perch on the island, celebrate a picnic, learn fishing and row back.
