About Haldwani

Haldwani is Kumaon's busy foothill gateway, paired with Kathgodam for rail arrivals into Uttarakhand. Most travelers pause here before the climb to Nainital, Bhimtal, or Almora, using local markets, cabs, and highway connections. The Gaula river valley and nearby orchards frame a working town rather than a resort strip. It works well for overnight stays, taxi pickups, and arranging onward hill transport without staying in the lake towns themselves.
