Kathgodam
The railhead for Nainital, Almora and the entire Kumaun region — the end of the broad-gauge line where most Kumaun trips begin.
Kathgodam is where the Indian railway network ends and the Kumaun hills begin. For travellers heading to Nainital (35 km · 1.5 hours by car), Kainchi Dham, Almora, Binsar, or the higher Kumaun (Adi Kailash, Om Parvat), Kathgodam is the practical starting point.
We pick up most Kumaun-bound clients here — overnight trains from Delhi, Lucknow and Kolkata arrive in the early morning. For travellers driving from Delhi, the road is well-paved Highway 9 (~280 km, 7-8 hours).
