A short uphill drive, around 2km of a unpaved road from Bhimtal Lake, Nainital District, leads you to Fredy’s Bungalow, near Nainital. The imposing colonial-style bungalow, converted to a resort, nestles among cypress and deodar trees, on a peaceful wooded hillside, overlooking the Bhimtal valley and the mountain slopes beyond. Located in the midst of acres of dense oak forest, this is a peaceful haven where only the sounds of nature break the silence: the wake-up song of the resident Whistling Thrush, the sharp call of a Barking Deer in the distance; the hoot of a Spotted Owl signalling dusk.
Also, this part of the Kumaon Lake region is home to a large variety of flora, fauna and aquatic life, and this has always attracted bird-watchers, butterfly-collectors and nature lovers as well as writers in search of solitude and city-dwellers seeking to renew their spirits. A steep 10-minute mountain trail, adjacent to the bungalow, leads to the ridge with its breath-taking view of the Sattal Lakes below and Nainital in the distance. A level walking track from the bungalow offers an easy 30 minutes walk to these lakes, which are otherwise more than 10km, and 45 minutes, by motor road.
