You can be involved in activities that you would find away from the hustle and bustle of cities. Being surrounded by Reserve forest land there are plenty of birdwatching and hiking opportunities. With a crystal clear view of the Himalayas and the night sky there are many stargazing opportunities. The Bhalugarh Waterfalls (32 km) is an excellent place to visit. And if you prefer to get into a more touristy and busy area, Mukteshwar is an hour away (25 km), and Nainital and Bhimtal are each 50 km away (less than 2 hours drive).
