आपने बिलकुल सही बोला है । नैनीताल में ऐसा ही होता है और ये सब शनिवार / रवियार को ज्यादा होता है। मेरा तजुरबा है कि कभी भी छुट्टियों के दौरान नहीं जाना चाहिए ।

[@singhridervloggs]

Baat toh sahi hai. Aap share kijiye apna experience and Tajurba

Govt soti rhegi tho yehi hoga

[@vroomwithguri07]

Recently Tempo leke gaye the Rishikesh, driver didn't turn on AC, then local sight seeing k liye he said the vehicle is running low on CNG...

[@singhridervloggs]

Tempo traveler walo KA bura haal h. Bolte kuj hai karte kuj hai. Apna Vehicle hi leke jana best hai

[@codedjango]

this is why you should travel outside India (e.g. Thailand Malaysia etc) .....it is very safe there as compared to India....

[@singhridervloggs]

True. All togather different experience

[@oceanofbliss3915]

Hygenic and budget hotel near mall road please?

[@singhridervloggs]

There are many properties. It depends on no. Of pax, budget and location. If you have your own vehicle, don't take hotel on the Mall Road. Instead opt for Tallital or Mallital

[@nikitasharma1191]

Is it safe to go nanital hum 29 ko ja rhe hai kyuki wha baarish start ho gyi????

[@singhridervloggs]

Rainy season in Mountains are not recommended to go. Baki you can always check with locals. Apne agar Hotel book kiya ho toh aap unse news le skte hai Jaane se 2-3 din Pehle

[@vroomwithguri07]

Paaji yhi dikkat hai... 2 KM k mene bhi 500 rupee diye the Manali mein from Palchan To Solang Valley... Isliye Bike Se Travel Karo...

[@singhridervloggs]

Apni Car ya Bike is best

[@singhridervloggs]

सही Baat Hai 👌👌

[@itsmekapilchoudhary]

Veer Ji, Sat shree akal, Kya Nainital se pass kar sakte hain agar aage jaana ho to ya pass nahi kar paayenge ? Plz reply 🙏

[@singhridervloggs]

Sat Shri Akaal JI. Tempo Traveler ko Pass nahi krne denge ji. BAARAPATHHAR (5km before Nainital ) se Agey allowed ni hai. Waha se apko alag Taxi karni hogi. 13km Pehle Mahadev ji ka Temple h wahi par rokka jayega Pehle hi.

[@singhridervloggs]

If you want I can share one Local Drivers number jisne hume Sightseeing karwaya tha in Nainital. I feel he is the most Sincere Driver in whole Nainital. Red Chevrolet Tavera Hai uske paas.

[@itsmekapilchoudhary]

@@singhridervloggs Thank You Veer Ji, for the information, but we are planning to visit Jageshwar Dham, so I think via Haldwani will be the other option ? What do you say ?

[@singhridervloggs]

Yes. Advisable to go via Rudrapur - Haldwani - Bhimtal

[@mandeeps5808]

Thanks bro for make video and guide us.. piz share driver and hotel contact number.....

[@singhridervloggs]

Hi Mandeep. Thank you for watching the video and commenting. Pls note the driver's details : TARUN (Owner of Red Chevrolet Tavera): 8941020548. I must say he is the best and Genuine driver we met in Nainital. About Hotel, we stayed at Hotel HILL View (09359700906) located at Zoo Road, Tallital.

[@singhridervloggs]

Tarun ko ye Vlog ya meri pic dikha dena samaj jayega. Also, Do share this video in your Friends and family 🎉 Thanks a lot
