Nainital is beautiful in the rains. Its misty one minute & then its not, mist in the mountains is one of the most beautiful things in the world. A bit ghostly in a Ruskin Bond manner.We stayed by the lake on the mall road. We could see the lake from our balcony framed with mountains & with swan boats in them. And when the night fell a hundred lights lit up the mall road.
For the second & third day we moved up to Snow view, The old British Governer house, having lived through a rough restoration the structure retains some of its colonial stateliness.The wood panelled floor & ceiling dates back to the British times, so does all of the structure, with its thick, load bearing walls, deep windows with shades held in place by curly wrought iron metal work.The restoration was thankfully limited to the finishes.The place is set in a pine forest & a beautiful winding road takes you down to the mall road.
A lovely trip
More on the trip & pictures soon
