Planning a group trip can be exciting, but when it comes to comfort, convenience, and coordination, the right transport makes all the difference. We were a group of 16 friends and family members looking for a refreshing weekend getaway to Nainital, and our top priority was finding a spacious and reliable vehicle so everyone could travel together without any hassle. After exploring several options, we booked a 16 seater Tempo Traveller on rent in Delhi from MWT, which made our trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable.
Starting the Journey from Delhi
Our journey began early in the morning from Delhi. The Tempo Traveller provided by MWT was well-maintained, spacious, and perfect for our big group. With pushback seats, ample legroom, neat interiors, and an experienced driver, the ride felt comfortable from the beginning. Traveling together in one vehicle allowed us to laugh, talk, play music, and enjoy every moment of the road trip, making the travel experience as delightful as the destination itself.
As we left the busy streets of Delhi behind and moved towards Uttarakhand, the lush greenery, hills, and fresh air added to the excitement. The smooth ride and scenic views made the journey refreshing and peaceful.
Arriving in Beautiful Nainital
Located at an altitude of roughly 2,000 meters in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, Nainital is one of the most loved hill stations in India. Formerly a British hill settlement, the town still carries a charming colonial vibe. Surrounded by mountains and centered around the serene Naini Lake, Nainital offers a perfect blend of nature, adventure, and spirituality.
As we entered the town, the cool weather and breathtaking views instantly uplifted our mood. The mist-covered mountains, sparkling lake, and the town's bustling yet peaceful vibe felt like a warm welcome.
Boating at Naini Lake – The Heart of Nainital
Our first stop was the iconic Naini Lake, the city's most famous attraction. Surrounded by hills, the lake offers a stunning view that looks straight out of a postcard. We enjoyed a calming boat ride, capturing beautiful photos and admiring the shimmering water. It was the perfect way to start exploring the city.
Right on the northern shore of the lake stands the sacred Naina Devi Temple, an important religious site. Visiting the temple felt peaceful and added a spiritual touch to our otherwise fun-filled journey.
Ropeway Ride to Snow View Point
Next, we headed to the Nainital Ropeway, one of the most popular tourist attractions. The cable car ride takes you to Snow View Point, located at an elevation of 2,270 meters. From here, we enjoyed captivating views of the Himalayan peaks, including Nanda Devi, Uttarakhand's highest peak.
The breathtaking scenery, cool winds, and panoramic mountain views made this one of the highlights of our trip. The viewpoint also has small snack shops and photo spots, perfect for enjoying the moment.
Exploring Tiffin Top and Eco Cave Garden
We also visited Tiffin Top (Dorothy's Seat), a famous viewpoint offering panoramic views of Nainital town. The hike was refreshing, and once we reached the top, the sight of the entire valley was absolutely worth it.
Our next stop was the Eco Cave Garden, a natural attraction with interconnected caves and fun pathways. It added a touch of adventure to our itinerary, especially for those who love exploring nature's raw beauty.
Strolling on Mall Road & Local Shopping
Evenings in Nainital are incomplete without a slow, relaxing walk on Mall Road. The lively atmosphere, lakeside view, cool breeze, and local shops together create the perfect holiday vibe. We enjoyed street food, did some shopping, and captured beautiful photos by the lake as the city lights reflected on the water.
High Altitude Zoo & Nearby Lakes
The High Altitude Zoo, located on a hilltop, gave us the chance to see rare Himalayan wildlife. The zoo itself is scenic, offering great views of the surrounding mountains.
To explore more natural beauty, we also visited nearby lakes, including Bhimtal and Naukuchiatal. These lakes are quieter and more spacious than Naini Lake, offering peaceful boating and scenic nature walks. The calm environment and crystal-clear water added a serene touch to our trip.
Why the 16-Seater Tempo Traveller Was the Best Choice
A major reason our trip was so comfortable was the 16 seater Tempo Traveller on Rent from MWT. For a group of 16 people, it gave us:
Spacious seating and ample legroom
Comfortable pushback seats
Air-conditioning for a pleasant journey
A skilled and experienced driver
Enough luggage space
Smooth ride on hilly roads
Traveling together allowed us to stay connected, enjoy group conversations, sing songs, and make memories throughout the journey.
A Memorable Group Adventure
Our weekend trip to Nainital was filled with nature, fun, adventure, and peace. From boating on Naini Lake to exploring scenic viewpoints, strolling on Mall Road, and visiting the surrounding lakes, every moment felt refreshing and exciting. The comfortable travel experience in the 16-seater Tempo Traveller made the entire journey convenient and enjoyable, allowing us to focus on having fun without worrying about travel logistics.
If you are planning a group trip to Nainital or any other hill station, booking a 16 seater Tempo Traveller in Delhi is one of the best decisions you can make. It ensures comfort, safety, togetherness, and a truly memorable travel experience.
