was hunting in the forest of Uttarakhand where he found this place which is
surrounded by mountains and a big green lake located between the mountains.

Nainital Faced Landslide in the 1800’s
In the mid of 1850, Jyolikote to Nainital road was made
because during landslide Pines to Nainital road was damaged in the landslide
disaster. On 18th September 1880, a dangerous landslide occurred there and
approx. 150 people died. Then, 20 inches of heavy rainfall happened for 48
hours. And, Mallital was full of mud & waste. In this worst landslide,
Victoria Hotel came under this landslide, which was one of the strongest
buildings at that time. Nain Devi Shaktipeeth also damaged and then renovated
it again. In 1866, once again landslide occurred but it was not much dangerous

Establishment of High Court By British Government
In 1906, Britishian’s established High Court in Nainital.
They also connected this place with Switzerland due to its beautifulness and
cool weather. They also cut the trees in a sincere manner and gave them a
proper shape which makes this place more attractive.
Cruelty By Britishian’s on Indian People
At that time for local public transportation, they used
hand-rickshaws on the way of Mallital to Tallital & sometimes up to Hanuman
Garhi. And, Britishian’s didn’t allow Indians to use the regular road of
Mallital To Tallital. They provided them another road which is known as
currently “Thundi Road”. If any Indian citizen broke the rule means any Indian
citizen used the regular road of Mallital to Tallital then Britishian’s used to
beat the Indians with the stick on the spot.
