Nainital or Kausani ? (August trip) please help

hey can anyone tell me the GOOD FOOD POINTS in nainital?
good chinese, north Indian and south indian food in nainital ?

They are all located on the Mall Road.
However, there are a few good dhabas at the far end near the Tibetan market area.

@nomadic wanderer ...thank you

Neither. to put it bluntly get your ticket cancelled. what's the point of going to any himalayn location when possiblity of seeing snow laden peaks is so less. go to panchmarhi or mount abu instead... Any non-himalayn hill stations are at their best when it rains or is raining.. enjoy cloud patterns and mist on the way... whereas on Himalayan hill stations/locations, beauty of snow covered massive peaks gets obscured by these very clouds... that's the way I see it. just think for yourself why rainy season becomes off-season in nainiatl, which isnt impacted by landslide to that extent..... let me give you an example, suppose you visit. china peak in nainital. what will you do when you reach there... there wont be any peaks to see.... I mean possiblity is very less.

Yes, You are absolutely right but i just want to relax for sometime thats why off season is a good time and no kausani this time, plan to visit ranikhet,mukteshwar temple and Chauli Ki Jali

I remember a guesthouse, which was praised by many india mikers at nanital was home away from home.although i have never stayed there. Pl see older links of im for address and telephone nos.

Dear friend,
It will be raining in most of the destinations in the hills during this period, but the hills takes on a different look altogether during the monsoons, which is a delight in itself, so go ahead with your journey. As regards these two destinations, Nanital would be definitely better as it has more places in its vicinity which you can explore by car - check out my blog -

VERY NICE BLOG, VERY USEFUL
THANKS

Ambassador hotel is gud one can get a double room for 800-900,I have stayed there for 4-5 times ,Its on mall road,service is decent.

Sher e punjab,on mall road is gud option for indian food .

I too am going to Gwaldham,baijnath and kausani on 10 aug,but lets hope that there are no landslides on the route,if anyone has info about landslides please share.

i dont think it's a right decision to be going to such places during monsoon... possibility of landslides is high and nothing substantial to gain...

I guess most of us are constrained by the limited availability of free time these days so we set out for holidays as and when we get time.

What ChandanParakash is saying has a strong logic behind it; however, if you still have to go then there is only one stretch near Kakrighat on Khairna-Almora route (if you are going that way) where landslide can block the road for longer duration. In such instances, traffic is diverted to other routes without any disruption.

There are other 2/3 landslide prone stretches but the debris is usually cleared within three to four hours, as it happens.

Local newpapers have not yet reported any rain-related traffic disruption. I would still suggest to contact the hotels/guest houses where you have made bookings, to enquire about the latest condition.

Thanks ,I know even my parents are also not happy with my tour,
but the beauty of mountains in monsoon is spell bounding, its worth to take the risk,even last year my whole family got stuck in nainitaal area in aug landslides and flood,we missed our train, but that was adventurous, that too with 2 kids. I am in love with mountains in rains.
