Naina Peak Trek

Details

Naina Peak, also known locally as China Peak, is the highest point in Nainital, standing at an impressive 2,615 meters (8,579 ft) above sea level. Historically, it has been a favored trekking destination for locals and travelers seeking panoramic views of the Himalayan range and the town’s emerald lakes. The peak holds cultural significance too — its name is linked to the revered Naina Devi Temple and the mythological origins of Nainital itself.
The trek to Naina Peak offers a blend of natural beauty and adventure. The 6–7 km trail winds through thick oak, cypress, and pine forests, rewarding hikers with spectacular vistas at every turn. From the summit, one can witness the majestic Nanda Devi and Trishul peaks, as well as sweeping views of Nainital town and the Kumaon hills. The absence of motorable roads ensures a serene and pollution-free environment, making it a perfect escape for nature lovers.

On the Trail

Step into the cool shade of towering deodar and pine trees as you begin your steady climb toward Naina Peak, Nainital’s highest point. The well-marked path meanders through quiet forest stretches, where birdsong replaces city noise and the scent of fresh mountain air follows every step. Along the way, small clearings offer glimpses of the Himalayas — each view more breathtaking than the last.
