Embracing Chaos - March to June

 

Sunlight embraces the hills of Nainital from March and lasts till June. As the summer capital during the British era, Nainital has a Colonial era charm and aesthetic to it and attracts hordes of tourists during summer. Visiting Nainital during this time is akin to diving headfirst into vibrant chaos. The air buzzes with laughter and chatter of families, children riding ponies and the vendors calling out to you to sell various goods.

Since the mountains are free of snow during summer it is the best season to visit Nainital not only for families to escape the summer heat but also for adventure enthusiasts. Go boating on the lake with your family as the water reflects sunlight like a diamond or hike up to Tiffin Top for a gorgeous view and a picnic spot. However, there are some things that you need to keep in mind before heading out for Nainital during peak season. Book your stay in advance, the key to exploring the hill station is using your daylight hours as much as you can, since the sun sets fast in Nainital and most importantly a little patience will take you a long way when traveling to Nainital during peak season.
