Nainital is one of those destinations that never fails to enchant. Nestled in the lap of Uttarakhand’s Kumaon Hills, it offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. Our recent trip to Nainital was everything we had hoped for and more. What made the experience even better was our stay at Vaapi Comfort Inn, Naukuchiatal – a gem of a hotel we’d heard so much about and decided to try.
After exploring Nainital’s iconic spots like Naini Lake, Mall Road, and Snow View Point, we headed to Naukuchiatal for a change of pace. The drive itself was an experience, with winding roads, lush forests, and glimpses of the pristine lake that awaited us. Naukuchiatal, often referred to as the "Lake of Nine Corners," is a serene escape from the bustling streets of Nainital. It’s quieter, more peaceful, and ideal for those looking to reconnect with nature.
As soon as we arrived at Comfort Inn, we knew we had made the right choice. The hotel’s charming facade, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the lake, was inviting. The warm welcome from the staff made us feel right at home. Check-in was smooth, and we were quickly escorted to our room, which was spacious, well-furnished, and offered stunning views of the lake and hills beyond.
Our room was a perfect blend of comfort and modern amenities. The bed was plush, the bathroom impeccably clean, and the décor tasteful. But what truly stood out was the balcony—a private perch where we spent hours soaking in the views of Naukuchiatal’s tranquil waters and listening to the birds.
The hotel also boasts a range of amenities, including free Wi-Fi, an in-house restaurant, and a games area. For those travelling with kids, the play zone is a thoughtful addition. And if you’re a nature lover, the hotel’s well-maintained gardens provide a perfect space to relax or meditate.
The dining experience at VaapiComfort Inn was another highlight of our stay. The in-house restaurant serves a variety of cuisines, and every meal we had was delicious. From hearty breakfasts with fresh fruits and juices to flavorful Indian curries and continental dishes for dinner, the chefs at Vaapi Comfort Inn know how to please the palate. Don’t miss their Kumaoni specialities—they’re a treat for anyone wanting to sample local flavours.
Vaapi Comfort Inn’s location is ideal for both relaxation and adventure. We spent a day boating on the serene Naukuchiatal Lake, followed by a trek through the surrounding hills. The hotel staff helped organize these activities and even provided us with a local guide for the trek.
For those seeking more thrills, paragliding and kayaking are also available nearby. And if you prefer a quieter day, you can simply relax on the hotel’s terrace, sip tea, and take in the breathtaking views.
Our stay at Vaapi Comfort Inn, Naukuchiatal, was nothing short of magical. The combination of beautiful surroundings, exceptional service, and cozy accommodations made it a trip to remember. Whether you’re visiting Nainital or looking for a peaceful retreat in Naukuchiatal, Vaapi Comfort Inn is the perfect choice.
We left with our hearts full and our minds refreshed, already planning our next visit to this beautiful haven in the hills.
