About Bhimtal Tourism


Bhimtal is established at an altitude of 4,500 feet in the Nainital District of Uttarakhand. This town is 22 km from Nainital and 21 km from Kathgodam. One road from Bhimtal connects Kathgodam to the entire Kumaon district leading in the direction of Nepal and then Tibet. This is often considered a part of the renowned vintage Silk path.

The very old town of Bhimtal sketches from its name from Mahabharata’s well known character Bhima, who is accepted to have travelled to the well renowned Bhimtal lagoon during the Vanvas time span when the Pandavas were banished from their kingdom. therefore, the major attraction of this district is the Bhimtal lagoon that is much cleaner and less congested than the lagoon at Nainital.


There is an isle at the centre of Bhimtal lagoon which can be arrive to by a vessel. This isle has an aquarium with distinct species of fish from ceramic, South Africa and Mexico. previous there was a bistro, which has been closed due to contamination. Another breakthrough is the Victoria dam established at one end of the Bhimtal lagoon.

The well known Bhimeshwara Mahadev Temple is located on the coastlines of the Bhimtal lagoon. This temple is acknowledged to have been there during the time span of Bhima’s visit. although, Baz Bahadur, the foremost of the Chand Dynasty and monarch of Kumaon, assembled the dwelling temple in the 17th years.

After the Anglo-Nepalese conflict from 1814 - 16, Bhimtal went under the command of the British. Close to the Bhimeshwar Temple, there is the Garg Parvat, a little high ground that occurs to be the source of the stream Gargi, which is called Gola Nadi in this area.
