Starting the Journey – Delhi to Haldwani by Urbania
Our journey began early in the morning from Delhi, as we wanted to enjoy the road trip and reach Haldwani by afternoon. Since we were traveling in a group, we decided to book a Force Urbania on rent in Delhi with a driver from SKTC.
The Urbania proved to be the perfect vehicle for group travel. It offered:
- Spacious seating with ample legroom

- Modern interiors and air conditioning
- Large windows for enjoying scenic views
The distance between Delhi and Haldwani is approximately 280 km, and the journey takes around 6–7 hours depending on traffic and stops. The road trip itself was an amazing experience. As we moved away from the city traffic, the surroundings slowly transformed into green countryside, open highways, and peaceful towns.
Traveling in a private rental vehicle allowed us to stop for tea breaks, take photographs, and enjoy the journey at our own pace. The experienced driver from SKTC handled the route perfectly, ensuring a safe and smooth ride throughout the trip.
Arrival in Haldwani – The Gateway to Kumaon
When we finally reached Haldwani, the calm environment and fresh air instantly made us feel relaxed. Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Haldwani serves as an important base for travelers visiting nearby hill stations such as Nainital, Bhimtal, and the spiritual destination Kainchi Dham.

After reaching the city, we checked into our hotel, freshened up, and prepared to explore the attractions around the town.
Visiting the Beautiful Gaula Barrage
One of the first places we visited was the scenic Gaula Barrage. Located on the Gaula River, this peaceful spot offers stunning views of flowing water and surrounding hills.
The calm environment made it a perfect place for relaxation and photography. Many locals visit the barrage in the evening to enjoy the cool breeze and scenic surroundings. Walking near the river while enjoying the natural beauty was truly refreshing.
Spiritual Visit to Sheetla Devi Temple
Another important place we explored during the trip was the sacred Sheetla Devi Temple.
The temple is known for its spiritual significance and peaceful environment. Located on a small hill, the temple offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Many devotees visit this temple to seek blessings and experience the calm atmosphere.
Climbing the steps to reach the temple felt like a small spiritual journey, and once we reached the top, the peaceful surroundings made the experience even more special.
Exploring Nature at Corbett Falls
During the second day of our trip, we decided to visit the famous Corbett Falls, located not far from Haldwani.
Surrounded by dense forests and rocky landscapes, Corbett Falls is a hidden natural gem. The sound of falling water combined with the peaceful forest environment creates a perfect picnic and trekking spot.
The short walk through the forest trail leading to the waterfall was enjoyable and refreshing. Once we reached the falls, we spent some time relaxing, taking photographs, and enjoying the natural beauty of the place.
For nature lovers and photographers, Corbett Falls is definitely a must-visit location near Haldwani.
