Butterfly Museum at Bhimtal
Ram Dutt Tripathi ji had an interesting conversation with Mr. Frederick, who is a passionate butterfly lover and was known as Butterfly man of India. In this conversation, he told how his father pursued his passion of collecting butterflies and thereafter he continued collecting butterfly specimens. He expressed serious concerns over deforestation and rising air pollution due to which many of the species of butterfly are not visible now. The pictures shown in this video are of the museum which is created and nicely maintained by his brother Peter Smetacek.

Sattal - Things to Do (With Price details) | Nainital |
Surrounded by lush green jungle, Sattal is a group of seven lakes interconnected to each other.
The lakes sit at an altitude of 1370 metres below lush orchards in the Mehragaon valley.
Set amongst dense forests of oak and pine trees, Sattal is one of the few unspoiled and unpolluted freshwater biomes in India. These lakes are a paradise for migratory birds. It is home to a few camps being operated mostly by local people catering to tourists looking for outdoor vacations.
Sattal is situated in the Lower Himalayan Range and is the result of tectonic activities and the uplifting of sediments between the Tibetan plain and the Indo-Gangetic plains. The rocks are mainly sedimentary rocks and quartzite. Physiographically the area can be divided into lower Himalayas and terraces.
Sattal is an ecologically fragile mesotrophic group of lakes and under the impact of heavy environmental degradation. Extensive deforestation, dumping of non-biodegradable waste, uncontrolled urbanization of the catchments and nearby forest is harming the ecology of the area. This results in scanty rainfall, a decrease in the number of plant and animal species and rapid drying up of perennial springs. The lakes also suffer from a reduced oxygen content and high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Poaching has eliminated many wild animals. Khudariya Tal became Sukha Tal (Dry Lake) due the leakage of water from its western extremity. An extensive growth of invasive plants such as Lantana, Parthenium and Eichhornia is also endangering the ecological survival of the lakes.
Sattal has many different varieties of fish. Mahseers (Tor tor and Tor putitora) are found here in large numbers. Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala, Schizothorax richardsonii and Catla catla are some of the other fish found in the lakes.
Some of the butterflies found at Sattal includes Indian fritillary (Argynnis hyperbius), peacock panzy, blue peacock, Paris peacock, red-base Jazebel, red lacewing, yellow pansy, tawny Rajah, red Helen, large silverstripe and thousands of others.
There is a natural spring of fresh water arising out of dense oak forest west of Sattal.

Hill-partridge call
Call of Hill-partridge was something that snatched my mind from this world to another. I didn't saw the bird but it was calling from a nearer cluttered bush down the hilly slopes. The call hypnotized me for a few minutes. It reminded me of the melodious flute sound of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
The Silent Valley Bhimtal Nainital
If you have dreamt of staying few days in the lap of mother nature, perfect mountainous solitude, miles
away from the maddening crowd, the noise, the glamour and its hectic pace…. then this place is just for you.
A place with awesome natural beauty boasted through jungles, mountains, rivers, where clouds create riots of colours on the mountains.
If you really want a non-commercialized nature stay, this is the place. Walking, trekking, birding, bathing in pristine rivers and waterfalls, running behind the butterflies, star gazing, visiting tiny hamlets, enjoying local cuisine, ploughing the fields, milking cows, bee keeping and staying in traditional Kumaoni culture are what you can enjoy here.
All your stress shall be absorbed by the gargling sound of mountain streams and the stunning landscape.
