Peaceful Hours with Nature

                                                                                          
7taal lake :)
                                                            

I am talking about place in Nainital district of Uttarakhand situated about 30kms from Nainital city. A collection of 7 lakes,adjoined ,surrounded by hilly forest ,is the perfect place to experience peace and quiet.

Filled with chirping birds,filled with all kinds of greenery one can really experience paradise on earth.

Apart of the lakeside is occupied by vendors selling all kinds of food and snacks which you can enjoy along with a boat ride around the nature filled lake.

Season time will be summers; from April to August when this area gets noisy with bustling tourist and peace will vanish for the birds as well as the people who come for quiet.

Other months in the off season the vendors lesson to a high degree and if you are not aware while walking around the surrounding jungles then an encounter with man eating leopard or tiger will not be surprising.

I spent a lot of time there and can never forget staring at the Lake with a hot cup of tea and Camera in my hand.This was one of the best moments in life spent around nature.

It is a great place for all kinds of people throughout the year but if you want quiet and serene peace then the off season months will be a preferable time to go and enjoy the nature.

People interested in spending a few days at Saat-taal also have an option, the government Kumon Mandal guesthouse and Country Inn resort are present.
                                                           
Boating @ 7taal lake :D 

If you want a wilder adventure then there is a tented camp across the lake.

There are numbers of interesting places around Saat-taal  for walking, there is a Hidimba Temple on a hilltop, one hour walk from the saat-taal lake.

In fact you can have short nature filled  walks in any direction with in the jungle area, using the pathways made by villagers.

While you are walking you will see foxes, deers and lots of birds, while walking around the the forest you can hear birds all the time, communicating with them selves singing songs to each other.

Silence broken with only sounds of nature; birds singing leaves rusting with the pure wind from the hills and lake.
                                                                         
Boats


 Water splashing on the lake shore and the distant sounds of the deers barking are truly a heavenly experience compared to the noisy, polluted cities we live in today.

A true lover of nature can find ultimate solace in Saat taal but you must spend a few nights here and sit near the lake surrounded by trees all around.

          This is the only truth we can find in the world today.

                              A perfect place for people who appreciate nature.
                                       
                                                                  :D  Enjoy ! :D
