Bhimtal, a better option than Nainital if you looking for a secluded and serene Holiday Experience

Bhimtal has generally always been overshadowed by its more famous neighbor Nainital.
Bhimtal, however, is no less beautiful, especially its piece de resistance-the Bhimtal Lake which is even bigger than the Naini Lake.

Bhimtal is visited during a visit to Nainital or nearby Naukachiatal.
The 17th century Bhimeshwar Temple Complex is the next biggest attraction here.
Boating around the small island in the middle of the lake and nature walks and hikes are the best way to discover Bhimtal.
