A must visit from Nainital is the Kainchi temple of Neem karoli Baba. Amidst the huge pine forest jungles this is a serene and quiet place. We also visited the Ghodalkhal temple where thousand and one bells are hung after one gets their wish fulfilled. The shopkeeper told us we have to tie a small bell when we ask Golu devta here for a wish fulfillment and once that is achieved, we have to come and tie a big bell. It was interesting to see many applications and letters attached to the bell. We were here at twelve thirty but at one all the bells started ringing, there was drum beats and sankh and the whole environment was su-real. We could also see the tea gardens at Shyam Khet. I had visited many beautiful tea gardens in Kerala but here the tea gardens, were beneath the deodar trees amidst mountains. We also went to Bheemtal and admired the lake. There is a lot of peace, serenity in all these places and one can hear the mountains calling.
