Tourists flock Nainital to view Himalayas
by Vipul Goel
Nainital:
A large number of tourists throng the Cheena (China)
Peak, the highest mountain peak in Nainital, to feast
their eyes upon the enchanting view of snow-covered Himalayas.
Tourists who visit Nainital, usually come to see the nine
lakes and watch the view of snow-peaked Himalayan mountains.
The excitement of watching the Himalayas with the help
of binoculars and telescopes is increasing every day.
"This place is very beautiful. We are standing almost
at the top of this mountain. We saw snow peaked mountains
of Himalayas from this height which I think would be the
China border. Also I saw temples situated on the other
mountain peaks taken over by the Army and trees in the
figures of tiger. This place is totally pollution free
which is very rare in Mumbai," said Namita, a tourist
from Mumbai. The tourist guides are also pleased to see
the increasing enthusiasm among the tourists to view the
Himalayas. "From this 'Cheena peak' the view is very beautiful.
From the tourism point of view, the popularity of this
peak is increasing fast. Many crazy people come here to
experience trekking, view the Himalayas and climb the
highest mountain of Nainital." said Anand Bisht, tourist
guide. Naina Peak also known as China or 'Cheena Peak'
is the highest peak. From atop the peak, one can not only
see a broad swath of the snow clad high Himalayas, but
also obtain a panoramic view of Nainital town itself.
'Cheena Peak' is the highest mountain in Nainital, which
is about 2295 meters above the sea level. Tourists climb
up almost three kilometers to catch glimpse of Himalayan
Mountains.
