Route
The usual road runs from Nainital to Bhowali and then toward Almora. Travel time depends heavily on traffic, so distance alone is not a reliable schedule.
Crowd planning
An early start helps on busy dates. The 15 June annual observance is especially important and special traffic plans may apply.
Parking and access
Do not assume ordinary roadside parking will be available. Follow current designated parking, shuttle and traffic-police instructions.
