These Are The Best Places To Visit In Kumaon For A Perfect Family Holiday !

This summer, my husband and I thought of exploring a different side of Uttarakhand. Since we have traveled to Dehradun, Mussoorie, and Rishikesh plenty of times in the past, there were a lot of unseen places to visit in Kumaon region that we could go to. We thought it would be a nice idea, to begin with lesser traveled places in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand like Bhimtal, Binsar, Kausani etc.



Details of our trip to Uttarakhand


While searching for places to visit in Kumaon, I bumped into a few handy blogs written on the TravelTriangle website. On that page itself, I got to know that they could help us book an Uttarakhand package as well. I filled up a small form, and soon enough a TravelTriangle representative reached out to me and understood my requirement for the vacation.



After receiving quotes from multiple agents, I chose the package given to me by ‘Spotnic Private Limited’ travel agency. The package was cost effective and covered most of the places we wanted to see.

Trip Duration: 6 nights 7 days
Trip Cost: INR 41,000
Places Visited: Bhimtal, Nainital, Ranikhet, Kausani, Binsar, and Almora
Inclusions: Transfers, accommodation, meals, sightseeing, wifi services, and tax
Exclusions: Train tickets, lunch, adventure activities, and additional expenses

For our trip, I had lined up some gorgeous hill stations in Uttarakhand. Hill stations that were especially perfect for families with kids. The places we covered weren’t too taxing to the body, weren’t too crowded, and the weather was perfect to head out in the open and explore.

The next morning, we went back to Bhimtal Lake and took part in a few adventure activities like zorbing, and paragliding. I must add, that my son was very brave during the paragliding session and not for one second did he not enjoy gliding hundreds of feet over the mountains

Later in the day, we proceeded for sightseeing in Nainital. We couldn’t cover many places as the driver wasn’t cooperating at all. Since Kathgodam, he was giving us a hard time by not even being 1% flexible with the itinerary given to him. We requested TravelTriangle to change our driver and they duly obliged.

For the remainder of our time in Nainital, we did boating in Naini Lake, and a little bit of shopping at Mall Road.

The next day, we checked out from Bhimtal and traveled to Ranikhet with a different driver. From this point onwards, we had no qualms with the driver, and the trip went by very smoothly. The new driver was very polite, interactive, and stopped the car for as many times as we asked him to. The drive to Ranikhet was filled with picturesque mountains that showcased beautiful places to visit in Kumaon.

In the afternoon, we checked into The Xanadu Resort, Ranikhet and rested for a few hours. We didn’t feel the need to do much in Ranikhet since the panoramic view we got from our resort was incredible.
