How to Reach Mukshwaa

Planning Your Mukteshwar Trip

Mukteshwar is a small hill town in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand, perched at an altitude of approximately 2,286 meters above sea level. Named after the 350-year-old Mukteshwar Dham temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, this quiet Kumaoni town has gained popularity among travellers seeking a peaceful alternative to the more crowded hill stations of Nainital and Mussoorie.

The town and its surrounding villages are known for their pristine natural beauty — terraced fields, ancient oak and rhododendron forests, apple and plum orchards, and unobstructed views of the greater Himalayan range including Nanda Devi (India’s second highest peak), Trishul, and Panchachuli. The area is also a recognized bird watching destination with over 200 recorded species including the Himalayan Monal, Koklass Pheasant, and various species of eagles and vultures.

Mukshwaa By Riverside is ideally positioned as a base camp for exploring all major attractions in the region. Our activity coordinator can help plan day trips, arrange transport, and provide detailed information about each destination. Most attractions listed above can be visited as half-day trips, allowing you to explore the region at a relaxed pace while returning to the comfort of your luxury tent each evening.

For guests arriving by road from Delhi, we recommend taking the route via Moradabad and Haldwani, which offers the most reliable road conditions. The journey takes approximately 7 hours with a breakfast stop at Haldwani. For those arriving by train, the Kathgodam Shatabdi Express from Delhi is the most convenient option, arriving in the morning and giving you the entire day to enjoy the mountains. We provide comfortable pickup service from Kathgodam station — the scenic 51-km drive through winding mountain roads takes about 2 hours and offers your first taste of the Kumaoni landscape.

Whether you are visiting for a weekend or a week, Mukteshwar and Mukshwaa By Riverside offer enough variety in experiences, cuisine, and natural beauty to keep every day fresh and memorable.
