I was going through my old photos and found some pics from our last trip to Nainital. Nainital is a huge hill station here in India and is visited by people throughout the year. Most people though like to go there during summertime to avoid the heat in the rest of the country. My father's side of the family belonged from this place and left a huge land here for me in a village. I love to visit it with my family and we usually take a friend's family with us for them to enjoy nature, wilderness, and forest environment. Here are some pics we took when we last visited, hope you'll like them.

A much needed break after 10 hours of driving to Nanital

Took us 13 hours to reach Nainital by road.

Visit a temple famous for the bells people donate there when offering their prayers

A beautiful and peaceful lake in Nainital. Nainital has 9 lakes and this is our favorite because not many people have discovered it yet. We go there to enjoy its beauty.

Stayed with a local family the second day in the village. My daughter enjoying the warmth of an earthen stove made by hand with our host's daughter. 

Visiting my dad's friend in the village

Witnessed a rainbow this clear for the first time in my life and thanked the Lord for his love and promise made to us.

There are tons more. Wish I could share them all.
