Tiffin Top is called "Tip 'n' Top" or "Dorothy's Seat." It is the most romantic picnic spot, situated in Nainital, at an elevation of 2,000 meters. It is a small hilltop viewpoint on Ayarpatta Hills offering visitors panoramic views of the region. Known for its picturesque landscapes and serene environment, it is just 1.6 kilometres from the centre of Tiffin Top Lansdowne.
The name Tiffin Top was kept after people started taking their tiffin and lunch boxes to this hilltop to enjoy a family picnic. One of the most sought-after places to visit in Nainital, the Tiffin Top is located on the Ayarpatta hills surrounding Nainital city.
It has become one of the favourite spots of travellers as well as photographers who travel here to capture the splendorous beauty of the Nainital town as well as the Kumaon Hills. Tiffin Top offers a panoramic view of Nainital and its surroundings.
The visitor can witness the unobstructed scenery of lush green forests adorned with dense oak and pine trees, which is charming. The place is more beautiful during sunset as the orange and pink colours glow into the sky over the hill, and thus it will not be missed when you visit Nainital.
The name "Tiffin Top" was derived from the tradition of the British having midday meals or 'tiffin' atop this hill. Dorothy's Seat was the major attraction at Nainital Tiffin Top, named after Dorothy Kellet, a British artist. Today it is a symbolic place where a person can take a halt, have lunch, and enjoy the views.
