Mall Road, Nainital, Uttarakhand
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
During summer holidays the roads into Nainital back up and parking near the lake fills early. Authorities sometimes stop vehicles at the edge of town and run shuttles in.
The lesson
Arrive early in the day, or plan to park outside and walk.
