This lake is calm and peaceful environment and when it's a cloudy day then beauty is at another level of this place.

Amazing view. One of the least visited place, and hence it is mostly left undisturbed. Place is a government resort. If you can, visit the lake side and spend some quite time there - it will definitely help you recharge. Best time to visit will be a weekend.

Amazing place to get a perfect valley view. You will often find yourself surrounded by clouds. The view is just mesmerizing! You should not skip this place at any cost!

This lake is the only lake not commercial in Nainital. It has no direct connection or road to reach. The beauty of this lake is that it changes 07 colours in a year. So you need to visit throughout the year to witness this beautiful phenomena. The lake is surrounded by the forest on one side and the village on the other, while western side of the lake touches the Army Colony.

Mesmerizing view 😍 I have no words to explain how beautiful the view was from there.

Beautiful place to hang out, network could be an issue here but the view is breathtaking, one can see the plains as well as the beautiful lake ... best time to visit would be after rains or early morning when it is clear

Awesome place. Mast thandi thandi hawaye.

Bird's eye view of Lake Khurpatal can be seen from here. Some maggie points are also nearby. No ticket required

Khurpatal is a small, beautiful lake in Kumaon district, and is shaped (as is indicated by its name) like the hoof of a cow. This spot along the highway offers a scenic view of Khurpatal. Compared to Nainital View and Snow View, this one is less popular, and therefore less crowded. For the best view, you do need to walk out a few metres onto the side of the mountain, but if you're careful, it's safe enough.
