Mukteshwar, Nainital, India

Mukteshwar hill sits high in the Kumaon hills at an altitude of 2286 meters (7500 feet), 52 km from Nainital, 55 km from Haldwani, and 343 km from Delhi. From October through March, the Great Himalayas is clearly visible from Mukteshwar heights, and a 180-degree panoramic view of the Himalayas can be enjoyed. Surely, the place is a photographer's delight. The other sightseeing places in Mukteshwar include Mahadev Mandir of Lord Shiva, Indian Veterinary Research Institute established during the erstwhile British regime, dense forests, trekking routes,  and local handicraft outlets. But the place that must be on top of the list of the tourist is the location where the great bard Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore spent a considerable time writing his Gitanjali that bagged the Nobel Prize for literature. The place is called the Writers' Bungalow. Mukteshwar is a celebrated scenic spot overlooking the Himalayan ranges. Click here to view Mukteshwar photos.
