A drop of heaven

Place: BHIMTAL

A visit to Bhimtal in May 2009 was wonderful weekend break. Highly recommended.

As is apparent, Bhimtal is sublime. You can just sit  in the midst of its tranquil shores, for the most part and enjoy sunrise, sunset and the myriad moods the day has on offer
It is situated in the 'lake district' of India, about 22 kilometres from Nainital. Less crowded that Nainital, it still retains an old world charm. The lake is circled by roads on all sides, and a leisurely walk around, with stops to take in the freshness of the hills and forests, the four odd shops where there is nothing touristy to buy, a little temple, an island to visit, the ducks swimming in a line to admire, the beautiful trees....
