Sometimes, all you need is a short break from the busy routine of Delhi. We recently planned a 3-day weekend trip from Delhi to Nainital with our family and friends, and it turned into a memorable mountain getaway. To make our journey comfortable and hassle-free, we booked an Urbania Tempo Traveller on hire in Delhi. Travelling together in a spacious vehicle made the road trip much more enjoyable because we could stay together, talk, listen to music, enjoy the scenery and take breaks whenever needed.
Day 1: Delhi to Nainital Road Trip
We started our journey early in the morning from Delhi. The route towards Nainital took us through the highways and towns of Uttar Pradesh before reaching the foothills of Uttarakhand. The Delhi-Nainital road journey is roughly 300 km, with the actual travel time depending on traffic, weather and stops.
The comfortable seating of the Urbania Tempo Traveller made the long journey relaxing for everyone. Instead of worrying about driving, navigation and changing vehicles, we could simply enjoy our group journey. After a few food and tea breaks on the way, we continued towards Haldwani and Kathgodam. As we started climbing into the hills, the scenery changed completely. The fresh mountain air, green forests and winding roads made the journey itself an enjoyable part of our holiday.
By afternoon, we reached Nainital and checked into our hotel. After freshening up and taking some rest, we went out for an evening walk around Naini Lake and Mall Road. Naini Lake is the centre of Nainital and is surrounded by beautiful hills.
We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, clicked photographs and explored the local shops. Later, we had dinner at a nearby restaurant and returned to our hotel for a comfortable overnight stay.
Day 2: Nainital Sightseeing and Local Food
The second day was dedicated to exploring some of the most popular Nainital sightseeing places. After breakfast at our hotel, we started our local sightseeing tour.
Our first major stop was Snow View Point, which is situated at around 2,270 metres and offers impressive views of the surrounding Himalayan landscape. We spent time enjoying the mountain views, taking photographs and having tea and snacks.
We also explored other popular attractions around Nainital, depending on our available time, including the Naina Devi Temple, Mall Road and nearby viewpoints. The Naina Devi Temple is located beside Naini Lake, making the area an important combination of scenic beauty and spirituality.
Lunch was another enjoyable part of our day. We tried local snacks along with regular North Indian food. Hot tea, snacks and a warm meal tasted even better in the cool mountain weather. In the evening, we returned to Mall Road for shopping and another relaxed walk beside the lake.
After dinner, we returned to our hotel, shared stories and photographs from the day, and enjoyed a peaceful night in Nainital.
Day 3: More Memories and Return to Delhi
On the third morning, we had breakfast at the hotel and prepared for our return journey. Before leaving Nainital, we spent some more time around the lake and nearby market area. We purchased a few souvenirs and enjoyed one last cup of hot tea while looking at the beautiful hills.
Our Urbania on hire in Delhi was waiting for us, so we could start the return journey together without worrying about multiple cars or transportation arrangements. The spacious vehicle was particularly useful for our group because everyone could travel together with luggage comfortably.
As we travelled back towards Delhi, we talked about our favourite moments of the trip — the mountain roads, hotel stay, delicious food, Naini Lake, Mall Road, Snow View Point and all the laughter we shared.
Conclusion
Our 3-day Delhi to Nainital trip was a perfect weekend escape from city life. From the comfortable Urbania journey and hotel stay to delicious food and beautiful sightseeing, every part of the trip gave us wonderful memories.
For families, friends and corporate groups planning a similar mountain getaway, hiring an Urbania Tempo Traveller in Delhi for an outstation trip to Nainital can make the road journey more convenient and enjoyable. Travelling together gives everyone more time to relax, interact and enjoy the journey rather than simply focusing on reaching the destination.
