Binsar
Binsar is a dark-forested wildlife sanctuary crowned by Zero Point, where oak and rhododendron woods part for a panorama from Kedarnath to Nanda Devi. Colonial-era estate houses and forest lodges keep it hushed.
Tehri
Tehri is home to one of the world's tallest embankment dams and the vast turquoise Tehri Lake that backs up the Bhagirathi. Jet-ski pontoons, the ropeway over the gorge and hilltop views make it an unexpected adventure stop.
Bhimtal
Bhimtal wraps its lake around an island aquarium, calmer and greener than Nainital nearby. Boathouses, forest walks and butterfly-rich slopes make it a gentle lake holiday.

Naini Lake, the eye-shaped heart of Nainital, glows green beneath the hillside houses and lights of Mall Road. Evening boating with the temple bells across the water is the Kumaon experience.
