As the name suggests, Himalaya Darshan or Snow View, is a scenic spot close to main Nainital where you could see the snow capped Himalayas from a distance. Located about 5 kms from Nainital Mall Road, Snow View is an excellent place to view the picture postcard view of the Himalayan Peaks.
On the way to Kilbury, Snow view is all about witnessing the mighty Himalayas from a point which is roughly 2200 meters from the sea level. As you view it from down to up, the first beautiful sight is of a forested valley and as you move up, one of the most uninterrupted and clear views of the Himalayas can be seen.
The place is quite popular among tourists and a local Chai wala will make it more a pleasing affair by offering a round of Hot Chai/Coffee. But that’s not all, a plate of Eggs with bun or local Maggi (Noodles) will taste like never before. You will also come across a local air gun shooting wala where you can shoot plastic bottles hooked on a tree.
Some of us who are more adventurous would like to explore the place in the dark. We will play Pink Floyd in our cars and take a drink or two while no one is around… Just the hills, music and the Himalayas
