JOURNEY
In summers I was looking  some place where I can go to get rid of all the worries of corporate work and relax for some time. So decided to go to Nanital on Friday evening but luckily I got some official work in market and it was finish before time so I got half more day.

I start my ride from  noida at around 1:30PM and reaching the Haldwani by 5:30 PM.The route from Noida to Haldwani is totally plain and beautiful Highway. I reached to 150kmph on the Highway. Haldwani is more like a base place of Nainital you can say because all the buses who came to Nainital could not go beyond haldwani.

Ride from Haldwani to Nainital on my bike took around an hour as I was start enjoying the ride and around 6:30 PM I reached to Nainital and start looking for stay, it was a peak season so after a half an hour I found a room at 1800/- Rupees per Night and I took that room. After freshening up I took a small ride to reach naini temple and naini lake their I spent some time and return back to my room for dinner.

After 11:00 PM theirs some sound was coming from the outside of my room when I open my doors what I saw was great it was a very heavy rain fall with thunder storm and I decided to sit their for some time it was great to feel that rain and the best part I forgot every thing. I go for bed at around 2:00 AM.

Next day with a light break fast I started my ride and first I reached to "Waterfall" it was good it but does not have much to offer. One can spend some time with family and friends.

Then I started my ride again and turn my handlebar towards "khurpatal" this lake is little off beat because  reaching a place  and find yourself alone on the place is something no one can assume but I really enjoy that silence and spent full one hour there.

After an Hour I went to "Botanical Garden" straight away and find that very beautiful and the staff guide me very well.

From botanical garden I dint waste my time and left for "Kilbury"  its on the way of "Pangot" I seriously like this place and if you are a nature lover then you must love this place too because its a dense forest with so many birds. Don't expect too much no activity just sound of leaves and birds which will take you to in deep silence and a silent happiness.

Next 2-4 kilometers will be same and you will same but in "Pangot" there were some small hotels and camps.

After exploring the Pangot I start asking local people about other places too then someone told me about "Binsar" so I went to Binsar which is 70km far from nainital. If you want to reach binsar then you have to take beautiful ride with "satluj river" on your left side.

Binsar Temple




Binsar Wild Life Sanctuary Information Centre 
I watched so many Birds and luckily I watched a baby deer and a fox who crossed my way while I was riding. My so called guide told me about the trees and the temple he also gave a green Tea which was made by fresh leaves. The trek was so easy and due to rainy season I wont be able to see the peak of Himalayas like badrinath, naina, trishul from zero point. It is advised to get a guide to explore the region.
Around 12:00 Noon I move towards home and while returning home I also visited "Bhimtal" and spent some time near the bank.
