Nathuakhan - The quieter cousin of Nainital at 1940m altitude

Discover Nathuakhan

Nathuakhan, at an altitude of 1940 m, is well connected to Haldwani, Bhimtal and Nainital. Boasting of gorgeous views, dream like locales, thick Deodhar forests and lovely weather through the year.

It could easily have been the quieter cousin of the more noisy and crowded Nainital, which is why it attracts travellers who come looking for solitude and some time exclusively for themselves and with nature.
