| Also known as Naina Peak, this peak is at an altitude of 2611 mts and at a distance of 6 kms from Nainital. China Peak being the highest peak of the town, offers stunning views of the majestic snow capped Himalayan range from Bandar Punch in the weat to the peaks of Nepal in the east. And a bird's eye view of the entire town of Nainital on the other side. The emerald green Naini lake, the centerpiece of the town below, looks wonderful from the top. It is truly worth the 60 minute hike to the top. Unlike other viewing spots, China Peak is not visited by crowds of tourists so it's a beautiful spot to enjoy a few hours of solitude too. For those who might find the climb a little strenuous, there are ponies to be hired. Once at the top though, tourist infrastructure is fairly minimal in terms of food availability so it's best to carry food and water with you. |
