Uttarakhand has a lot of experiences to offer including trekking which is for sure the most popular among us.

Start From Dehradun

Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand is well connected by air, train, and road so I am assuming that you all guys have reached the Dehradun.

By Air

There is Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun. There are many cabs (shared/private) available near the airport. Better you book cabs online as sometimes these cabs charge more money which isn’t reasonable. 

By Train

Many trains are running from Delhi to Dehradun. The best option to start your train journey is from Nanda Devi AC Express. You guys have to sit in before 11:50 PM it reaches to Dehradun at sharp morning 5:40 AM. You can take the cabs from there.

By road

You can ride or drive to Dehradun by road. The route from Delhi to Dehradun is like this:

Delhi → 

Mohan Nagar →

 Modi Nagar → Khatauli →

 Muzaffarnagar → Roorkee → Dehradun

If you drive or ride at average speed then it only takes 6 hours to reach.

By Bus

Hundreds of UPSRTC buses run from Kashmiri Gate bus station to Delhi to Dehradun throughout the day and night. 

These buses are cheap as well as easy to catch for your journey.

One thing you have to keep in mind is that reaching early morning in Dehradun would give you all day to explore Uttarakhand.

One more thing is if you are self-driving the vehicle then keep the speed slow as the turns are very curvy and deep that even a small mistake can be a life threat.
