    How to reach Uttarakhand

    For those looking forward to their next venture or adventure in the Himalayas, it doesn’t get better than Uttarakhand. Travelling solo or with your loved ones with a bite of crisp mountain air and murmur of gurgling freshwater streams is hardly unmatched by any travel destination in India. The Kumaon region makes up the southeastern districts in Uttarakhand while Garhwal region comprises northwestern area.

    Almora is the cultural capital of Kumaon region while the Garhwal region is centred by the state capital Dehradun. High-altitude roads, or whatever passes for it, offer thrilling experiences to out-of-state travellers. The state of Uttarakhand is easily accessible by any mode of transport: road, rail, and air. Travellers can book their choice of transport to plan their Uttarakhand holidays in advance. Looking up on how to reach Uttarakhand? Here is our detailed information:

    Popular places to visit in Uttarakhand include Dehradun, Nainital, Mussoorie, Rishikesh, and Jim Corbett National Park. The state is also the site of several pilgrimage places which are thronged by thousands of devotees. Each of these destinations is well-connected with major metro cities in India. For those coming from western India, the Pune to Uttarakhand route is well served by trains and flights via Delhi, making the journey convenient and accessible. Many travellers prefer the Pune to Uttarakhand train option for budget travel, while others choose flights for speed. Road trips on the Pune to Uttarakhand route are scenic but long, offering a thrilling adventure for those who love driving across diverse landscapes.

    By Air

    There are two domestic airports in Uttarakhand. The Jolly Grant Airport (DED) in Dehradun is located 22

    kilometres from the city centre. It is served by regular nonstop flights from Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai,

    and Chennai. Alliance Air, IndiGo, and Jet Airways provide commercial flights to and from Dehradun.

    Pantnagar Airport (PGH) serves as a gateway to hill stations like Nainital, Ranikhet, and Almora. The

    distance between Jim Corbett National Park and Pantnagar Airport is about 120 km.

    By Train

    Reaching Nainital or Dehradun by rail is the cheapest and perhaps the most convenient way to visit. The

    train station in Kathgodam, 35 km from Nainital, is the last terminus of the North East railways.

    Kathgodam train station has rail connectivity with Delhi, Dehradun, and Howrah (Kolkata). Trains to

    Dehradun railway station come from Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab. Jan

    Shatabdi Express, Dehradun Express, Doon Express, and Nanda Devi Express are major trains serving

    Uttarakhand.

    By Road

    One of the main reasons to visit the hills in Uttarakhand is the joy that comes from the time spent on the

    road itself. The state has more than 1,328 km of national highways and 1,543 km of state highways. The

    Uttarakhand Transport Corporation runs around 1000 buses in and out of the state.

    Haridwar and Rishikesh are connected to Delhi by NH 34 and NH 7 passes through Dehradun with

    Badrinath. Highways 109 and 309 interlink Nainital, Almora, and Jim Corbett National Park. The

    proposed Char Dham Highway will connect all four major pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand. Taxi rentals

    are available in all major travel destinations in Uttarakhand.

      Joydeep's 9 days trip to Uttarakhand

      Overall, it was a wonderful experience. All the hotels we booked were excellent, and the service throughout the trip was very good. Our driver, Himanshu, was friendly, cooperative, and a genuinely nice person, which made our journey even more comfortable. Due to a planning issue, we could stay only
      one day in Rishikesh. I would strongly recommend staying at least two days to truly enjoy the place. Kausani was absolutely beautiful. We captured stunning views of Nanda Devi, often considered the starting point of the Himalayan range. It is a place I would love to visit again. We booked this trip through Navicrow, and our agent, Mr. Yash Raikwar, was supportive. Just one suggestion: Mr. Yash, it would be helpful if you could answer calls more consistently. Even if a problem cannot be solved immediately, it feels reassuring when someone listens. After all, customer service makes a big difference. Also, for non-vegetarian travelers visiting Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Kausani, be prepared as vegetarian food is predominantly available in these places. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would love to visit again. The best memory of our trip was undoubtedly Himanshu, our driver. We spent a great time with him—he was friendly, supportive, and made our journey truly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him and would love to have him again on any future trips. Another highlight was capturing the breathtaking views of the Nanda Devi range in Kausani. The scenery was absolutely stunning and left us with some beautiful photographs to cherish. The jeep safari at Jim Corbett was also an exciting experience and added a sense of adventure to our trip. These moments made our journey truly special and memorable.
