Nainital’s “Tiffin Top” and “China Peak,” now require an INR 50 per person admission charge to help maintain cleanliness and waste management. The project aims to raise funds for these locations. However, some residents argue that charging admission may discourage nature lovers and underutilize the area, despite its stunning scenery.
According to the most current information, two well-known ecotourism destinations now require an INR 50 per person admission charge, which was recently enforced by the Uttarakhand Forest Department. These two well-known tourist destinations, “Tiffin Top” and “China Peak,” are situated in the charming Nainital area, if stories are to be believed.
The goal of this project is to raise money to help the department continue to clean up and use solid waste management techniques in these environmentally delicate locations.
Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Chandrashekhar Joshi of Nainital emphasized the need for greater trash management, especially with regard to plastic garbage, which has been an increasing source of worry for tourists. Joshi also emphasized the importance of this charge imposition. The forest department hopes to foster a feeling of accountability among visitors to preserve the cleanliness of these natural environments by requiring access permits.
Not everyone, however, is in favor of this new law. Former Uttarakhand state secretary and Nainital resident Indu Pandey voiced worries that charging admission may discourage nature lovers from visiting these locations. Pandey expressed his concerns on social media about this fee’s possible detrimental effects on tourism and promised to bring up the matter with state government representatives.

Pandey went on to draw attention to the underutilization of these locations, especially “China Peak,” blaming it on the difficult hike needed to reach the top. The hike’s difficulty has kept the number of tourists to a minimum, so the admission charge seems unnecessary despite the area’s stunning scenery.
Uttarakhand has many natural beauties and cultural attractions that draw tourists from all over the globe, in addition to the captivating eco-tourism destinations in Uttarakhand. Outdoor enthusiasts and environment lovers will find an exquisite setting among the region’s green woods, clean lakes, and spectacular mountains.
Uttarakhand offers a variety of lovely tourist spots outside of Nainital, each with its own distinct charm and attraction. There are many options for exploration and adventure, from the spiritual sanctuaries of Rishikesh and Haridwar to the tranquil hill villages of Mussoorie and Ranikhet.
Whether enjoying a hike in the Himalayas’ verdant wildness or getting to know the lively local culture in its charming hillside towns, Uttarakhand offers visitors an amazing trip full of life-changing experiences and stunning scenery.
