Five days covers Kumaon’s greatest hits without rushing: the lake, the cultural capital, and the panorama ridge — with every drive under four hours.
Day by day
| Day | Plan |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Delhi → Nainital. Mall Road evening. |
| Day 2 | Nainital full day: boating, Snow View, Tiffin Top; or lake-district drive (Bhimtal, Sattal). |
| Day 3 | Nainital → Almora (65 km). Old bazaar, Nanda Devi temple, Kasar Devi sunset. |
| Day 4 | Almora → Kausani (52 km) via Baijnath temples. Ridge sunset. |
| Day 5 | Kausani sunrise → return to Delhi (410 km) or Kathgodam train. |
Notes
Best in October–March for clarity; book Kausani’s view-facing rooms early. Add Mukteshwar on Day 4 if you skip Almora’s temple circuit. Extend with the 7-day loop.
