- 100km
The traffic on the way up to Nainital was still held up by the aberrant tree, as none of the petrol pumps in Nainital had replenished their stocks. I’d tanked up the day before, and Sandy had an extra large tank, but Prashi was running dangerously low. We decided to head on towards Bhowali, hoping that the pumps there were stocked.
The town of Bhowali.
We started down towards the town of Bhowali, about 23km from Nainital. Bhowali is centrally located among the nine lakes that make up Nainital (literally, nine lakes). The pumps at Bhowali were all sold out too, so we headed on towards Bhim Tal. A very pretty lake it was too, with mountains in the backdrop. It was nice to see that all the lakes were clean and sparkling, unlike Ulsoor lake back home.
