Nainital, the jewel of Uttarakhand located in the Kumaon region of the state, is often called the ‘Queen of Lakes’, and for good reason! One can find seven lakes in and around Nainital that draw travelers from far and wide. Though it is one of those hill stations that one can visit year-round, Nainital in monsoon is all the more lively! The rains don’t hamper (it is a myth) but add on to the beauty of the hills.
