Nainital is a favorite tourist destination. The hill station provides superb view of Icy mountains and splendid water bodies. Lot of tourism related business, mainly hotels and restaurants have sprung up all thru the valley. You could watch Everest mountain, which is in Nepal. Horse rides are available but slightly risky as the trainer will leave the horse after some time along with you and the horses are trained to trek the mountains and you will get frightened as the horse go up thru narrow trails and take you to the destination regardless of the presence of a trainer during the journey.
There are udan khotla like sky safari available which will take you to the top of the mountain and back and you could enjoy the beauty from those heights. There are several lakes in and around the place and boating facilities are available at nominal costs and most of the places are very beautiful and brings freshness back into your life at least for some moments.

At Nariman Point , Mumbai , India
I am at the historical Nariman Point, Mumbai. Even though i had heard and seen about Nariman point from several places, this is first time I am seeing the place directly with my Eyes. The Taj Mahal hotel overlooks the Nariman point with its royal flavour. You can see pigeons coming to have thier share of food from the hawkers. The place is flooded with tourists.
You could see the India Gate , where the history of India sleeps. I took a boat journey to the nearby Arabian sea. The Taj Mahal hotels speldour seemed multiplied several times as i took a long shot view from the boat, several miles away from the sea shore. On one side i could see Naval Base of Indian Navy.
Nariman Point is Mumbai's premier business district. It was named after Khursheed Framji Nariman, a Parsi visionary. The area is situated on land reclaimed from the sea. It had the distinction of having the highest commercial real estate rental space in the world in 1995 at $175 per square foot ($1880/m²). As per 2006 the area prices rose sharply to 450 US$ per sq ft. ($4800/m²). 2007.Property prices Nariman Point hit a new high as a flat sold for a record $8.62 million (USD) on November 26 2007[1], at an astonishing $2488 (Rs.97,842) per square foot. The area is situated on the extreme southern tip of Marine Drive. It houses some of India's premier business headquarters.

At Matri Mandir , Aurovile, Pondichery , Chennai , India
This is my second journey towards pondichery. My intention was to cover the left out places which we couldnt travel during the first journey. I was driving my four wheeler Tata India and my journey was smooth thru the scenic East Coast Road (commonly called ECR).
We reached the Matri Mandir after a long journery .We took a deviation from the ECR to reach Aurovile, the universal city that is coming up in the suburbs of Pondichery (More about auroville here (http://www.auroville.org/) . Matri Mandir , is located here. This is the worship place of people living in auroville. Lot of tourists have come to see the Matri Mandir. The place is calm and quiet and we need to take a long queue to reach inside the Mandir. As we step towards the rotating stairs we reach a dark room where a Diamond like illuminating structure is placed.
