Dehradun to Nainital is 295 km, about 7.5–8.5 hrs by cab. One-way fares start at ₹7,000 (sedan) and the route runs Dehradun → Haridwar → Najibabad → Kashipur → Haldwani → Nainital. Booked with Shiv Ganga Travels, a Haridwar operator since 2010, with fixed fares and experienced hill drivers.
This is the Garhwal-to-Kumaon crossover — from Dehradun (or straight off a Jolly Grant flight) over to the lake town of Nainital. It is almost all good highway through Haridwar and Haldwani, with the hill climb saved for the last hour. Travellers who land in Dehradun but want a Kumaon lake holiday rather than the dhams take this route, often looping in Jim Corbett.
