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. |
