Bhimtal
I'm spending four days here in order to reconnoitre the plot of land my father owns in the industrial estate and get to know the area in general.
It's a sleepy-ish tourist resort set around Bhim Tal lake itself - Bhim is a character from the Mahabharata of Hindu legend, one of the Pandava brothers. According to the legend he was fathered by the lord of the wind and was one of the mightiest warriors to serve Krishna in battle.
Circled by a string of luxury hotels, pursuits in Bhimtal consist mainly of fishing and boating. But right now it looks like I'm the only tourist in town.
