Dorothy's Seat, Nainital's famous tourist spot also known as Tiffin Top, has collapsed following a landslide caused by heavy rain. There were no casualties.

Tiffin Top, a three kilometre gentle trek from Nainital, offers panoramic views of the lake town and of the Himalayas.

Dorothy's Seat, situated at a height of 2,290 metres, was built by British Army officer Colonel Kellett in memory of his wife who loved to sit on the spot and paint. She died of septicemia on a ship en route to England.
