Naini Tal, the summer-resort of the lieutenant-governor of the North-west Provinces of India, nestles between spurs of the Himalaya, beside a beautiful lake 6409 feet above sea-level, 70 miles N. of Bareilly. By a disastrous landslide here in 1880, 150 lives were lost. There is a military convalescent depôt. Pop. 6576, but over 10,000 in the season (September).
