There is not much to do in Jungaliya Gaon except wandering away in the hills for beautiful treks, totally enjoying the vagaries of nature; or maybe sitting in your room enjoying the beauty, sipping on a cup of tea and reading a book or enjoying some music. Though 5 km away from Jungaliya Gaon towards Bhimtal there is a parasailing institute where one can enjoy the adventure sport and watch both Bhimtal and Naukuchiatal lakes, a small hill station which is again 7 km away from Bhimtal. You can also go to Bhimtal and enjoy a nice boat ride on the lake and feed the ducks which come quacking away at the site of bread and visit the ancient temple of Shiva which was visited by Bhim, one of the five Pandavas during the banishment period. The town has been named after him.

 

Not far away is Naukuchiatal which boasts of having one of the larger lakes in the district. There are boating, kayaking and small shikara type boats to engage you. After a nice boat ride you could visit The Lake Resort for some scrumptious snacks.
