Tips

To stretch the trip, add a half‑day excursion to nearby Bhimtal or Sattal on Sunday morning, which offers quieter lakes and gentle hiking trails. If you need to cut costs, consider taking a train from Delhi to Kathgodam (≈₹200 per person) and sharing a single cab from there, which reduces travel expense by about ₹50 per person. For a shorter itinerary, skip the horse ride and enjoy a relaxed brunch on Mall Road before heading back, keeping the experience fun yet within the ₹5,000‑₹6,000 budget range.
