Route
to Delhi to Nainital - BY OWN VEHICLE
BY
OWN VEHICLE - Delhi - Noida - Gurgaon - Ghaziabad to Nainital
There are basically 2 routes that you can take while going to Nainital
from Delhi. Both the routes run on the same track up to Moradabad
and then deviate after Moradabad. One of the routes is via Kaladungi
and the other goes through Rampur.
Delhi to Nainital through Rampur: Delhi - Ghaziabad - Hapur
- Garmukteshwar - Gajraula - Moradabad - Rampur - Haldwani - Kathgodam
- Nainital
Delhi to Nainital through Kaladungi: Delhi - Ghaziabad - Hapur
- Garmukteshwar - Gajraula - Moradabad - Tanda - Bazpur - Kaladungi
- Nainital
Via Rampur: Rampur route is fine up-to Moradabad but the
major hassle comes while you are crossing Rampur. You have to cross
the busy bazaars of Bilaspur and Rampur to get to Haldwani, which
is even more crowded. From light to heavy vehicles to bullock carts,
you will have to go through a lot of traffic and dirty roads. Definitely
not recommended.
Via Kaladungi: The beauty of this route lies in the fact that
this road is meant for only light vehicles. This further sums up the
fact that there would not be too many heavy vehicles passing by and
that you are pretty much safe on the road. The road condition is absolutely
fantastic and the total distance is only 265 kms. You can easily reach
Nainital in not more than 6 - 7 hours. Definitely recommended!
Moradabad - Nainital Road Map (Via Kaladungi):
After crossing the Moradabad bypass, take a left U turn (the right
turn will go to Rampur) for Corbett National Park. Keep following
the road and it will take a right turn on its own (passing through
a small bazaar) and then after going for about 8 kms more, you will
see a right turn pointing Bazpur. Take this right turn and keep going
straight for Bazpur (landmark: Bazpur Gurudwara just after the rail
track) and then straight on for Kaladungi (passing through a jungle).
On reaching Kaladungi (after crossing a small bridge and going 200
meters ahead) you will see a board pointing left for Nainital. After
taking this right turn you will start climbing up (after 5 kms) and
now you are only 30 kms short of Nainital.
