Naina peak is the highest peak of the town, at an altitude of 2611 m and at a distance of 6 Kms from the town. It commands an entrancing view of sparkling snow laden Himalayas from Bandar Punch in west to Api and Nari peaks of Nepal in the east, a full Himalayan range in one side and a birds eye view of the lake city of Nainital in its full grandeur on the other. With a pair of binoculars a good panorama of the tract surrounding Nainital is obtained. Pony or Horses can be hired to visit this peak either from Snow view or from Mallital.
An old trekking favourite China Peak (8,579 ft) too has panoramic views of the Nainital and the distant snow-covered Himalayas. Hire a pony to get here if you’re not much of a trekker.
