Nainital, Naini lake

  1.             
At 1938 metres in the kumaon hills, this attractive hill station. Nainital is very much a green and pleasant land that immediately appealed to the homesick Brits, who where reminded of the Cumbrian Lake District. This is certainly one of the most pleasant hill stations to visit and there are many interesting walks through the forests to points with superb views of the Himalaya.
The tow bazaars, Tallital and Mallital, are at either end of the lake, connected by the mall. 
This attractive lake is said to be one of the emerald green eyes of Siva's wife, Sati. She had jumped into a sacrificial bonfire and as her mourning husband dragged her charred remains across the country, various appendages
dropped off. India is now littered with places 'formed' by parts of her body. Her eye falling here makes this a holy spot and the popular Naina Devi Temple is by the northern end of the lake. Nearby is a small Tibetan market.

Ladakh is a high-altitude plateau north of the Himalaya situated geographically in Tibet. It's a miniature version of Tibet, the people are Tibetan in their culture and religion, and there are many Tibetan refugees.    The Himalaya is a very effective barrier to rain-few clouds creep across their awesome height and as a result Ladakh is barren beyond belief. Only where rivers, running from faraway glaciers or melting snow, carry water to habitation do you find plant life-hence the mainland label, since Ladakh is as dry as the Sahara.      Finally, Ladakh could well be a last Shangri-la, although since the troubles in the Kashmir Valley began there has been qui...
