Located in the picturesque heart of Nainital, the renowned hill station, Naini Lake is a must-visit destination offering serene boating experiences on its sparkling emerald waters. The Boat Club provides visitors with strip-sailed yachts, manned by professional yachtsmen, ensuring a delightful and safe sailing adventure. For those seeking more excitement, the tree-shaded bridle path around the lake is perfect for enjoying a scenic horse ride.

According to legend, Nainital holds deep spiritual significance. It is believed that when Lord Shiva was carrying the body of his consort, Sati, who had leapt into the sacrificial fire (havankund) organized by her father, Daksha Prajapati, Sati’s eyes fell at this very spot. This divine event is what gave Nainital its name, making it not only a natural wonder but also a place of profound historical and mythological importance.
