Situated a safe distance from Nainital (22km), Saat Tal gets its name from the seven lakes in its vicinity. The camp is located atop a hill overlooking the Saat-tal lakes. Three of the lakes are interconnected, thus forming a single water body and other are scattered in the forest at short distances from each other. Saat-tal is situated at a moderate height of 1350 m (4,300 ft.), which makes it an ideal all-season camp.
