Located at
2.5 Kms from Nainital, this is the most easily accessible place to partake of
the panoramic view of the snow clad Himalayas.
The Snow View is situated at a height of 2270 m and can be reached by foot. It
is a pleasant 2.5 km climb. There is also the option of hiring horses or taking
the chair lift ropeway called the Aerial Express. From the top of the Snow View
you can see the truly breath taking of the Nanda Devi mountain in all her white-capped
glory which was 'the highest mountain in the British
Empire' as an outdated plaque informs the visitor. Apart from the
views, you can also pay your respects at the small marble temple dedicated to
Dev Mundi. This temple houses the images of Durga, Shiva, Sita, Rama, Lakshaman
and Hanuman. Further up ahead from Snow View is the Gadhan Kunkyop Ling Gompa
of the Gelukpa order. Their spiritual leader is the Dalai Lama. |
