Botanical gardens Domes Nainital

Madhulika Liddle 22 months ago

These beautiful gardens showcase the flora of Nainital and around, spread out across a mountainside and encompassing a range of different smaller gardens. You buy tickets at the entrance (Rs 50 per adult, children go free) and just beyond, the path leading up to a building takes you to the auditorium (where local song and dance performances are held). Next door to the auditorium is a small insect museum and seed display; the range of insects, especially butterflies and moths, here is very impressive, with interesting trivia on different pollinators, camouflage, poisonous butterflies, common butterflies of Kumaon, etc.

Further along, various paths take you, along well-labelled plants, shrubs, and trees (also lots of beautiful flowering plants) to other parts of the garden. These include the tiny Butterfly Park; a Medicinal Plants section; a Fernery and Orchidarium; and the Domes, which showcase various cacti and succulents. There is a path to the top, too, leading to a 'View Point' which is quite impressive.
