Planning a group trip becomes truly enjoyable when everyone can travel together comfortably, and that's precisely what made our weekend getaway to Nainital so memorable. We were a group of 16 people looking for a stress-free and convenient travel option for our sightseeing plans. After comparing various options, we booked a 16 seater Tempo Traveller on rent in Delhi from MWT, which turned out to be the perfect choice for comfort, space, and group coordination.

A Smooth Start from Delhi

Early in the morning, we set out from Delhi and headed toward the charming hill station of Nainital, in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. Situated at an elevation of around 2,000 meters, Nainital is known for its serene lakes, lush green mountains, colonial-era ambiance, and pleasant climate, making it a top weekend destination from Delhi.

The Tempo Traveller offered ample legroom, pushback seats, ample luggage space, and a smooth suspension, making the long drive comfortable for everyone. Travelling together kept the group energy high, and the scenic route became even more enjoyable with music, laughter, and endless conversations.

Reaching the Lake City of Nainital

As we entered Nainital, the cool mountain breeze and the picturesque views instantly refreshed us. The first glimpse of Naini Lake, surrounded by mountains and dotted with colorful boats, set the tone for a wonderful trip.

Boating at Naini Lake

We began our sightseeing with a peaceful boat ride on the iconic Naini Lake, the heart of the town. Surrounded by lush hills, the lake offered a scenic escape from city life. The calm water, cold breeze, and charming surroundings made it a perfect way to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Nainital.

Visit to Naina Devi Temple

Located on the northern shore of Naini Lake, the Naina Devi Temple is a sacred and historic shrine dedicated to Goddess Naina Devi. The temple is believed to be one of the critical Shakti Peeths. A visit here added a spiritual touch to our journey while offering peaceful moments and lovely views of the lake.

Snow View Point – A Himalayan Delight

Next, we took the Ropeway to Snow View Point, one of Nainital's most popular attractions. The ropeway ride itself was thrilling, offering aerial views of the town. From the top, we enjoyed breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas, including the majestic Nanda Devi, the highest peak in Uttarakhand. It was a picture-perfect moment for the entire group.

Exploring Tiffin Top and Eco Cave Garden

Our group also explored Tiffin Top, also known as Dorothy's Seat, located at an altitude of 2,290 meters. The spot is famous for its panoramic views of Nainital and the surrounding Kumaon hills. The short trek to reach the viewpoint was fun and rewarding.

We then visited the Eco Cave Garden, a unique collection of interconnected natural caves and hanging gardens. It gave us an adventurous experience, especially for kids and first-time visitors.

Strolling on Mall Road

Evenings in Nainital are incomplete without a stroll on Mall Road. We enjoyed street food, picked up souvenirs, and admired the shimmering lake at night. The lively atmosphere, cool weather, and vibrant markets made it a delightful experience for everyone.

Visiting High Altitude Zoo and Nearby Lakes

The next day, we visited the High Altitude Zoo, home to snow leopards, Himalayan bears, and various rare mountain species. It was both educational and exciting.

We also explored nearby lakes such as Bhimtal and Naukuchiatal, where boating, peaceful surroundings, and scenic views added more charm to our trip. The tranquility and natural beauty of these lakes made them ideal spots for relaxation and photography.

A Perfect Group Travel Experience

Our entire journey became more enjoyable because we had chosen a 16 seater Tempo Traveller on rent from Delhi, which allowed us to stay together throughout the trip. Whether it was enjoying the ride, taking group photos, or coordinating our sightseeing plan, the vehicle played a key role in making the journey smooth and well-managed.

Conclusion

Our weekend trip to Nainital was a perfect blend of nature, adventure, relaxation, and fun. From boating at Naini Lake to exploring scenic viewpoints, temples, markets, and nearby lakes, every moment was memorable. The experience was further enhanced by the comfort and convenience of travelling together in a well-maintained Tempo Traveller. If you're planning a group trip from Delhi to Nainital, a spacious, reliable vehicle like a 16 seater Tempo Traveller in Delhi is highly recommended.
