Unwind and De-stress with visuals of Nainital- By Sonal Jain

-



There is something very different about visiting peaceful hill stations in India. India is a beautiful land that offers so much tourism. Today, I am going to talk about one of the most chilled out trips of ours to Nainital, Uttarakhand. If you by now have guessed it, Nainital is also a City of Lakes and that pretty much is enough to know why this trip is so close to my heart. 


City of Lakes






Nainital was on my bucket list ever since I came to Noida. I heard a lot of stories about this beautiful city, and I always wanted to go and unwind to de-stress. In 2019, probably a year we all want to remember always, was the time we got a chance to visit Nainital. 

I remember being very excited because it was after many years, we planned to go to a hill station where early morning you are greeted by mist, slowly woken up by the sun and the cold breeze is always around you to make it blissful. 

"Vaadiyaan"
     
Every turn is beautiful


Nainital surprises you with mesmerizing views.

One thing I have fondly loved about Nainital is the way it surprises us with small yet mesmerizing views. It looked like we did not have to find anything, every corner expressed Nainital’s beauty, and its charm kept me hooked till the last minute in Nainital.

A thing of beauty

    

Every corner is beautiful


The Eye-Shaped Lake

his place is filled with scenic beauty but the most fascinating part of Nainital is its eye-shaped lake, and the top view of the lake is not less than heaven. I clearly remember, when we were driving to the top to see the Himalayan ranges, I was unaware that one glance of this lake suddenly will fill my eyes with love and admiration for nature.

De-stress yourself with these beautiful views

The word beautiful and mesmerizing is very underrated to describe Nainital. The beauty of hill stations in the calmness, the slow-paced life, the warm smiles, and the feeling people carry in their hearts about their little world is also a thing of beauty.

Photography has made my life so much easier. It has helped me re-visit  the memories and unwind my stress. I am a true believer of capture what you see because they help you bring back the happy memories when you need them. So, come see the Nainital through my lens.

 Unwind surprises, Nainital mesmerizes. 

Just as you begin to unwind in this beautiful hill station, you see small little surprises. The boats rowing in slow motion, you see the mist getting heavier, the sunshine trying to highlight your face, the waterfall rushing through your heart, the magnificent views of the Himalayas, the happiest mall road, and the best coffee in hill stations.

Gushing through my heart


Tea with a view 

Well, one thing i am super jealous of people living in mountain areas is their home views i feel. Imagine waking up to the mountains everyday and here in Nainital i also got to spend time viewing the lake. I feel all of us just had a little moment and smiled. 

I am a major tea lover and whenever we are on a vacation, i only look for moments like these. I like to wake up early, take my cup of tea and sit alone just admiring the view and being grateful. There is nothing as precious as ME TIME and with views like this it just gets better. This is my way to unwind and de-stress. 

Favourite thing to do

A photographer’s delights.

There is absolutely no doubt about the seamless beauty of Nainital. As a photographer I was delighted to see the place blessing me with the views I would want to capture forever. These pictures and this trip still remains one of my favrourites. Here are a few of pictures I clicked.

Best time to visit

We visited Nainital in the month of January and to me it looked the best. It was half way through the winter but we were at 2 degrees. The lake felt very chilly yet blissful. This is not a peak season and we usually perfer it this way. 

The best part about Nainital Mall raod is that post 6 pm no vehicles are allowed. As a tourist, it gives you enough space to shop from Mall road and have fun eating without worrying. Everything about Nainital is beauitful. We have really enjoyed our time touring and relaxing. 

Some videos from Nainital, Uttrakhand i took for instagram.

Why Life Through lenses? by Sonal Jain

START OF MY PHOTOGRAPAHY JOURNEY Life Through lenses as a name crossed my mind the day I bought my camera. Photography is something that turned into a passion that started as a hobby. Like every Indian child, my parents have always wanted me to join every possible class in the neighborhood. It started with skating classes, swimming, painting, dance, yoga to music. What stayed with me the most is taking a photography course, shot my first live project with the professor and since then my love for photography kept increasing.  This journey with this name started when I decided to start my own Instagram page. For days I kept thinking for a name that would resonate with what I truly believed. I finally caught hold of this one but then saw hundreds of people using the same name in different combinations. I was in a fix whether to go ahead with it or not. Later I gave it a thought that every lens is different, every vision is different. So, what if our page name is somewhat similar, the

Never say no to a Ladakh Trip-by Sonal Jain

Every time I heard about Ladakh, my soul would hop into a virtual dreamland and, my heart would wish to witness this dreamland.  I probably come from that group of people who saw Ladakh in the Movie 3 idiots for the first time and, I do not mind giving them credits for increasing my hopes about the place.    This Ladakh trip seemed too good to be true. But what’s more interesting is the process of having a conversation about the trip. It started with negotiations, permissions, then planning, and much more.    How did it begin? As part of my annual visit to my maternal grandmother’s house, we all were in Karnataka. My brother was in the hostel all this while but had a short break in July-August. My elder cousin started a conversation about the Ladakh bike trip. He was looking for a trip with his friends and asked my brother if he wanted to join.  All this conversation happened in front of my dad. He immediately showed interest and agreed to their plan. They were ready to send both of th

Story of a passionate admirer of water | By Sonal Jain

  This story is all about how a little girl grew up to be the biggest admirer of water. It begins in 2006-2007 when the first time I saw a waterfall. I was 8 years old, my parents took me for my first trip, Gokak Falls in Karnataka.  Our First Trip to Gokak Falls  Honestly, I do not remember how I reacted, but I can imagine what my reactions could have been. Waterfalls clearly have the most mesmerizing views, and they can captivate your senses. But as I grew up and my encounters with water increased, my admiration for water bodies has seen no bounds ever since then.  The beginning of Forever  Well, that title is exactly what I am going to put out here and with all my heart I can say this is the best forever I could ask for. I learned how to swim when I was 4 years old. As they say, it is an important skill to learn, I am happy to have learned it young and always ready to dive into the water world when I get a chance.  Whenever and wherever I have traveled, the first thing I would searc
