Mall Road: The Shopper’s Paradise
The vibrant street is located at a distance of 1 km from the Tallital bus station in Nainital, Uttarakhand. It’s a bustling commerce center that connects two corners of Nainital Lake, Mallital and Tallital.
Mall Road in Nainital was originally constructed during British colonial rule and is officially known as Govind Ballabh Pant Marg. If you are a shopaholic and want to indulge in retail therapy, then it’s an ideal spot for you.
Shopping on Mall Road
With an array of shopping shops, restaurants, cafes, hotels, banks, showrooms, department stores, and malls, it’s an ideal spot to take a leisurely evening walk. Walking along the banks of the lake, the cool, refreshing wind from the lake adds to the overall charm. During the summer months, places often get crowded, so locals enjoy the weather during the evening.
Traffic Restrictions
To ensure a hassle-free experience, vehicle entry is restricted on Mall Road at specific hours. During the months of May, June, and October, from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., light vehicles from 6: p.m. to 10 p.m., and cycle rickshaws from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. It helps reduce pollution and noise levels on the street.
