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.

Mukteshawar, a less frequented tourist place in Uttaranchal

Tucked away in one of the corners of the Kumaon Himalayas, Mukteshwar has derived its name from a myth that claims that Lord Shiva delivered a demon or granted him ‘mukti’ here by killing him.
The Shiva Temple here, therefore, is one of the biggest tourist attractions.
There is nothing here for those looking for a busy holiday with lots of sightseeing packed in.
Admiring the beauty of nature is best pastime here, besides the delicious food.
Mukteshwar is, therefore, one of the unusual holiday destinations in Uttarakhand.
