Not too planned for the trip..got on a private bus (regal cruise travels.its better comparatively with others) at 10.30pm .altough I would suggest train (operated by 3 trains till kathgodam) if planning and timing relatively helps.Road was far better till rampur.it would have been better till haldwani(I have no sense of the hilly roads)we reached to Haldwani by 5.00am and taxi provided by bus company dropped us at Nainital by 6.00 am.
I can see no one other than people exercising on path beside lake till 7.00am.one thing that let me roam in the morning is in the search for public toilets. Which I finally found within 20 mins.
City was asleep till 8 am in the morning.
I had an omlette and cup of tea and then we started to search for a bike rentals.
Then we found a new Hina bike rentals near to Mall Road and so we booked TVS NTORQ for 2 days
No shops are available on the peak. So, it is advisable to carry eateries and drinking water. We went to trek the Cheena peak which is around 4kms from the city.
PARKED THE SCOOTY...STARTED TO TREK
I felt difficulty for every 300mts mostly till I reached around 1km
We found a fellow traveller in between the trek who joined us.finally we reached the peak with 90 mins hopingly.total trek distance is 6kms both way and it was steep. But left with little disappointment that view of 360* is covered with clouds.. (in a good weather nanda Devi peak would we visible from here).Its worth looking
down off the edge if not scared of height . Indulge in a photography session of u carry a camera.
NOTE:please be cautious of leeches.
we could see forest department on he arrival to top with 2 people residing in it.He made a Maggie and tea at the cost of 50₹.Suggested us to leave earlier before 4.00pm as there were were chances of us getting into leopard. Moved to snow view point which is on the way to the city of Nainital.We then headed back and started to move to our hotel which is around 12kms at pangot.(hotel pine view resort booked on MMT) 12kms from Nainital .
Preferably I would recommend u to stay at hotel away from Nainital if someone there would like isolated places.
On the way we ate chicken momos and coffee which were good . Finally we reached our hotel travelling through clouds by around 5.00pm
CHECKED IN.

got back to Nainital and booked return bus for 10.30pm in the night and went to bhimtal which is 10kms from city and took roughly 40 mins I guess.
