How to Reach Uttarakhand

By Air

The primary gateway to Uttarakhand by air is Jolly Grant Airport (DED) in Dehradun, located about 35 km from Rishikesh and 55 km from Haridwar. It has regular domestic flights connecting to major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. For northern destinations like Nainital, Mukteshwar, and Bhimtal, Pantnagar Airport (PGH) is the closest, approximately 70 km away, with limited flights mainly from Delhi. For those heading to Auli, Joshimath, or the Char Dham pilgrimage sites, flying into Dehradun and then taking a private cab is the most convenient option.

By Train

Haridwar and Rishikesh are well-connected by rail to major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, making them ideal entry points for pilgrims and tourists. Haridwar Junction is a major railway hub, while Rishikesh has a smaller station with fewer trains. For access to Nainital and Jim Corbett National Park, Kathgodam Railway Station is the nearest railhead, about 35 km from Nainital and 25 km from Corbett. From these stations, TravMe’s private cabs ensure comfortable transfers to your destinations.

By Road

Uttarakhand is well-linked by an extensive network of national highways and state roads. From Delhi, the drive to Haridwar or Rishikesh takes around 5-6 hours via NH334 and NH7. Mussoorie is about 35 km from Dehradun, accessible by a scenic uphill drive. For hill stations like Nainital, Mukteshwar, and Kausani, well-maintained roads connect through Kathgodam. The routes to Auli and Joshimath involve mountain roads from Rishikesh or Dehradun via Rudraprayag and Chamoli. TravMe’s private cabs provide hassle-free and comfortable journeys through these picturesque routes.
