Beyond Nainital, Bhimtal, and Sattal, take a look at these 5 beautiful ‘hidden locations’ in Uttarakhand.

Whenever it comes to visiting the beautiful valleys of Uttarakhand, the first thing that comes to the mind of tourists are the famous pools like Nainital, Bhimtal and Sattal. This is the reason why there is a huge crowd of tourists at these popular tourist places throughout the year, due to which many times they do not get the peace and quiet that people turn to the mountains in search of. If you are also looking for a place on holidays or weekends this time where natural beauty is scattered in all its splendor and where there is little to no crowd of tourists, then these beautiful hidden places (Hidden Gems) present around the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand can prove to be perfect for you. Let us know about these secret and amazing places.

Beyond Naukuchiatal and Khurpatal, a quiet corner of Naukuchiatal nestled in the lap of nature

Located at a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Nainital district, Naukuchiatal and its surrounding areas are still recognized for their virgin beauty. The lush green forests and tall pine trees spread around this mysterious lake with nine angles fascinate the tourists. There is such a peace in the climate here which takes you completely away from the hectic life of the city. This place is no less than a paradise for bird watching (bird lovers) and photography lovers, because here you will easily find rare species of birds and feel the cool breeze blowing in solitude.

‘Bhedaghat’ hidden near Mukteshwar and beautiful valleys of Pangnath

There are some small and unknown places hidden between the hills of Mukteshwar and Ramgarh, where very few tourists can reach. Moving a little further from the main market of Mukteshwar, one finds many valleys and trekking trails that take you straight into the clouds. The panoramic view of the huge snow covered Himalayan peaks from here can never be achieved while sitting in the crowd of Nainital. Traveling to these untouched villages to see the local culture and hill lifestyle closely is no less than an exciting experience.

Ramgarh and Satkhol: An undiscovered paradise nestled among apple orchards

Ramgarh in Nainital district is known for its cool climate and sweet fruit orchards, but the small village named ‘Satkhol’ situated within it is still largely hidden from the sight of tourists. In Satkhol you will find huge apple, peach and apricot orchards, where you can spend some time peacefully amidst nature. The homestay culture is rapidly developing here, where you will get a unique experience of pure Pahari food and local hospitality. This location is one of the best options in Uttarakhand to get mental peace without any noise on weekends.
