Naukuchiatal, the 'Lake of Nine Corners', is one of the offbeat places near Nainital. According to mythology, Lord Brahma created the Naukuchiatal Lake. The locals believe that one who views all the nine corners of this auspicious lake at once on bare feet achieves the state of nirvana and dissolves into smoke at the moment. One can explore activities like bird watching, paragliding, boating, etc.
