Trains in Uttarakhand — Complete Route Guide 2026

Uttarakhand's railway network is limited to the foothills — the Himalayas prevent rail from reaching most high-altitude destinations. The key railheads are Dehradun (for Mussoorie), Haridwar (for Rishikesh and Char Dham Yatra), and Kathgodam (for Nainital, Jim Corbett, and Kumaon). All Himalayan destinations beyond these points are reached by road.
