Our expert suggestion

For a first-time Uttarakhand trip by train, do not choose a railway station only by ticket availability. Choose the station based on your route.

For Kumaon, arrive at Kathgodam. For Jim Corbett, use Ramnagar. For Rishikesh, Haridwar and Mussoorie, use Haridwar, Rishikesh or Dehradun depending on your final itinerary.
