Naukuchiatal a quiet sylvan retreat is situated up in the Himalayas. The resort here owned by Sri Mahendra Verma had been changing in to a mini rock festival on many week ends for the last 4 years. Started as the brain child of Sri Adit Dave & a few music lovers, the Lake side Jam has gained huge popularity. The music is to pay homage to Lenon, Clapton, Dylan, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Gratefuldead, New Riders of the Purple Sage etc. mainly the '60s & the 70's. Both professional & ameteur musicians jam together & the listeners dance away the night around a bonfire.
You can also ramble in the orchards of Plums & Apricots, watch Himalayan birds. This place can be reached from Kathgodam the gateway to Kumaon. A taxi ride from Kathgodam to this place is about Rs.300/
