Sightseeing in Nainital In the morning, prepare yourself for sightseeing in and around Nainital. Start with a visit to Hanuman Garhi, which is a famous place of worship in the town. Nestled on a hilltop, this temple of Lord Hanuman was built and consecrated by the eminent saint named Neem Karoli Baba.
