It acts as a pit stop for not only the tourists en route to Nainital, but also for the daily commuters who travel back and forth between Haldwani and Nainital. A glass of tea with 'bread pakora' at the 'Verma Jalpan Grah' with the picturesque views of the mountains and the blistering sunshine, is the perfect trailer to the beauty which lies ahead (Nainital).
