Natural-areas

 

Lakes, rivers, hill stations, fishing spots, splendid waterfalls, and bird-watching sites are just a few mentions of what is on offer for the laid-back nature lover.

 

Prominent lakes in the north are Nakki lake, Lake Pichola , and Sambhar Salt lake (in the state of Rajasthan), Tikkar lake (Haryana), Rani Tal and Renuka lake (Himachal Pradesh), Bhimtal, Sattal, and Nainital (Uttaranchal),

Having Himalayas spreading across half the northern states and other inland mountain ranges dotting the whole country from north to south, there is no dearth of hill stations. In fact every state has more hill stations than one can cover. It is recommended that at least, one day is reserved for a popular hill station. A representative list of the popular destinations is presented for reference is, Almora, Arki, Kullu-Manali, Kasauli, Shimla, Lansdowne, Dehra Dun, Mount Abu, Massoorie, Nainital, Ranikhet, Sattal, etc. Note that these are all in the north Indian states only; a few hundred kilometers from the capital city of New Delhi .

Some spots like Nainital, Panchmarhi, and Ranikhet provide good golfing opportunities. Corbett National Park , Kalsi river, Bhalu dam in Ranikhet, etc. are well developed fishing spots.

Tiger Falls (at Chakrata), Raneh Falls (at Panna), Bee Falls and Duchess Falls (at Panchmari), Kaladhungi (in Corbett National Park), and Satdhara and Panchpullah (both at Lansdowne) are a few waterfalls along with sites of splendid natural beauty where one can relax from the hustle-bustle of city and for the exhaustion of adventure sports and traveling.
