This video is all about the popular tourist destination of North India: Nainital.
This town in Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, with a lake in between sits pretty high at 2,084 meters above sea level and has quite a bit of history around it, despite being settled by British only 180 years ago.
This video deals with geography of the region, tourism, history and some issues the city faces regularly.
Note: Most of the history is taken from:
'Notes of Wanderings in Himmala', 1843, Pilgrim.
Nainital, A historic and descriptive account, J.M Clay, 1928.
Kumaon Ka Itihas, Badridutt Pandey, 1937.
