Best Taxi Service from Delhi to Haldwani

Natural beauty, abundant wildlife and cultural richness converge in this historic trading post set high in the Himalayan foothills.

Haldwani is known as the gateway of the spectacular Kumaon region in India. However, with its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, Haldwani warrants a longer visit than a stopover. Shop at local markets, admire the region’s stunning temples and absorb the incense-laden atmosphere of Haldwani’s many religious festivals. The temple Kali Chaur is especially worth visiting.

At 425 metres (1,394 feet) above sea level Haldwani has a temperate climate and offers spectacular views. The town is the last outpost on the southern plains of the Lower Himalayas, at the point where the mountain rivers go underground. Follow one of the many hiking paths around the town to experience the area’s wealth of flora and fauna. Gaula Barrage is a favourite spot for camping with sweeping views of the Gaula River. Forested Sanjay Van is perfect for picnics and bird-watching. Visit nearby Haidakhan Ashram to explore temples and caves in the serenest of settings.

Often called the gateway to Kumaon, Haldwani has many picturesque spots where visitors can unwind. One of these is the Sanjay Van, a lush green area that is a part of the Tunda Range Forest. Historically, Haldwani was important because in the Indo-Gangetic plains, this was the trading post of the Kumaon region.
