3-star hotels in Bhim Tal
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Bhim Tal, the lake town in Uttarakhand's Kumaon hills. These are the properties with the strongest guest ratings and the most facilities, and they suit couples, families and small groups looking at Bhim Tal.
Staying in Bhim Tal
Bhim Tal is built around its lake, the largest in the Kumaon region, with an island aquarium in the middle and boating and shore walks as the main things to do. It is a quieter alternative to Nainital, and a base for Naukuchiatal, Sattal and Nainital. Pine and oak forests surround the town, the summer weather is pleasant, winters are cold, and the monsoon is wet.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in a few distinct spots. Several are close to the centre, within about 1.1 km of it: Treebo Vista Lago With Lake View on June State Rd in Harinagar Chanddeva, Heaven by lake & woods on Bhowali Bhimtal Road, Shanti Kunjj on Trh Road in June Estate, and Bhimtal Lake View 3BHK w Pool Waking Dream Cottage at just 0.3 km. Others lie along Naukuchiatal Road, such as Le Reve Valley, The Blossom Glee and Monal meadows. The rest are strung along June Estate Road or in Sanguri Gaon, Mehragaon, Jangalia Gaon Ganja and near Naukuchiatal Lake, up to 8.7 km out. Couples and small groups fit the lake-view and cottage-style stays; families fit the homes with family rooms and play or games areas; the closer properties suit short breaks.

Plan your stay
When to go
The best time to visit Bhim Tal is from March to June, when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor activities. The monsoon months of July to September bring heavy rainfall and occasional landslides, so travel during this period requires caution. Winter, from October to February, is cold but clear, with temperatures sometimes dropping near freezing. Many travellers also visit during the summer to escape the heat of the plains.
