Kathgodam acts as the central hub for several adventures and activities in Uttarakhand. It is located just 24 kilometers away from the lake city of Nainital, and it is well-connected to major cities in Uttarakhand, thus serving as an important hub. Kathgodam is one of the important railheads of the Kumaon region that connects the area through a rail network and is considered the Gateway to the Kumaon. The Kathgodam railway station is situated just 1 kilometer away from the main city and encounters frequent trains from all major North-Indian cities like New Delhi (via the Ranikhet Express or the Uttar Sampark Kranti Express) and Dehradun (via the Doon Express). You can take a train to New Delhi or Dehradun from any Indian city and reach Kathgodam via the connecting trains. Pantnagar Airport is the nearest civilian airport with regular flight connectivity. It is located at a distance of 32 kilometers from Kathgodam. The airport is connected with the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi through multiple weekly flights. You can travel from any Indian city by air and reach the New Delhi airport, from where you can take a flight to Pantnagar. You can hire a cab from Pantnagar airport to reach Kathgodam.

Being the Gateway to the Kumaon, Kathgodam is a transit town for tourists and adventure enthusiasts who would travel to various parts of Uttarakhand and North India. Therefore, there are several accommodation options, including budget and pocket-friendly homestays, guest houses, backpackers’ hostels, etc. These charge significantly less, starting from USD 8-10 per night (INR 600-750). But they only offer very basic amenities. On the other hand, there are luxurious accommodation options like villas, boutique hotels with spas, etc., that start from USD 50 (INR 3750) and continue to USD 175 (INR 13500) and above per night. But you have to keep in mind that the accommodation prices depend primarily upon the amenities and the add-ons you choose. Prices typically soar during the peak tourist seasons. However, pre-booking via tour operators, travel agencies, and notable booking apps and websites will help you cut down on such expenses.
