As discussed in my previous post, we faced a lot of challenges due to heavy rains and cold when visiting the High altitude Nainital zoo.
We had a few things to see during our return visit.
Thankfully, although not fully sunny, there was no rain this day.
Our stop was at a Theme Eco Cave park in Nainital.
It has caves designed in the way real animals have like for Tiger, Leopard, Bat, Monkeys etc.
We went to a few of the caves.
At a few places, we had to literally crawl - yes it was so adventurous!!
Then we stopped to have a view of a lake from a great height.
The lake is named Khurpatal.
I read that its color changes sometimes due to different mineral deposits.
But for the details, I would need a complete post.
We were probably at a height around 2200 M and feeling very cold.
Then we began the descent to Kathgodam station which is at a height of around 550 M or so.
We had a return train to New Delhi.
It was a hectic day but enjoyable.

Overall some good memories and experiences but some good lessons as well.
Did you enjoy my posts?

It was at a Eco Cave park which had caves designed in a natural way.
The crawling was a part of our "adventurous" activity!!

This Eco Cave Park gets a lot of tourists but yes the mountain views from this place gives an isolated feeling.

We had a little less time and carrying bags.
Else there are a lot of caves to explore.

We were traveling in a hired cab and had to carry water bottles and some cash with us.

The crawling was only for some time.
And a good physical activity for us who sometimes get into a highly sedentary mode!

There was a Food joint within the Eco Cave Park.
So if you plan properly, that is technically possible.
Plus being the Prez of India, you can get perhaps 10 to 15 % off as well.
