Note:31st Dec, 09: DAY 1Road conditions Ghaziabad to Gajraula (Distance 80kms)As soon as we leave Moradabad toll road, we took a U-turn (on the left side) towards Kashipur. We could have chosen to go straight, and got to the Nainital via Rudrapur->Bilaspur->Haldwani, however looking at the traffic and the road conditions there we decided to opt for the other way. We chose for the route of Moradabad->Kashipur->Rampur-> Kaladhungi (Ghaziabad to Kaladhungi: Distance 240kms).
We reached Kaladhungi at 16:15hrs, we stopped there to refuel our machines and refill our stomachs as well. And luckily both were available at the same place. We got our first break here and realized that the weather is getting chillier and dark. While we were having our break with those lovely Aaloo parathas and Coffee & Milk, we decided that we will not ride further in the night and we will take a stoppage at Nainital. Soon after finishing our supper at 17:00hrs we started once again towards Nainital and crossing all those beautiful hills and views, we reached Nainital at 18:00hrs (Ghaziabad(my home)->Nainital(hotel parking): Distance 309kms). Reaching Nainital was like reaching a mini LasVegas, no I mean it; Beautiful lighting all around and a public DJ all over the Mall Road. Here we stayed in hotel named Paryatak (Room rent INR1000per day). Then we moved out for the New Year eve enjoyment, where we had nice Roasted Chicken and Butter Chicken. And later looking at the cold weather also purchased some warm clothes for my friend. Well I believe to understand better about fun in Nainital, we must know some facts about Nainital.
GeographyHistory
"NAINITAL" was founded in the year 1841 by Mr. P. Barron, a European merchant and an enthusiastic hunter from Rosa, near Shahjahanpur. Mr.P.Barron was the first European who took great fancy to this land. Moved by the beauty of the sparkling lake he wrote: "It is by far the best site I have witnessed in the course of a 1,500 miles treak in the Himalayas."
In due course it became the summer capital of then United Province dotted with lakes, Nainital has earned the epither of ' The Lake District of India '
It is very less is known about the history of Nainital. This region was called "Khasdesh" in ancient times and "Khasis" ruled this region before Christ was born.
Once the Nainital area had many lakes and it was called the City of 60 lakes or 'Chakta' The Nainital Lake finds mention in the Manas Khand (chapter) of the Skanda Purana (scriptures) as the Tririshi Sarovar, i.e., the lake of the three sages (or rishis). Atri, Pulastya and Pulaha. Legend has it that in the course of their pilgrimage the three sages arrived here, only to find the place without water. Meditating on the sacred and bountiful sanctum lake of Tibet namely Manasarovar Lake, they dug a hole here. So great was the power of their tapasya (meditation) that the hole soon filled with water.
