When you think of Uttarakhand, the first name that comes to mind is Nainital. But just a few kilometers away lies a quieter and equally beautiful destination – Bhimtal Lake. Surrounded by lush green hills, this lake is a perfect getaway for those who love peace, nature, and calm waters.

Why Visit Bhimtal Lake?

Bhimtal Lake is the largest lake in the Kumaon region, and unlike the busy Naini Lake, it offers a more relaxed atmosphere. The cool breeze, the sound of birds, and the sparkling water create a soothing experience for visitors.

One of the main attractions here is the island in the middle of the lake. On this island, you’ll find an aquarium that houses colorful fish species from around the world. Reaching the island by boat is an adventure in itself!
