Getting there

Car

If you are driving from a major city like Dehradun, take NH7 towards Kaflani. The journey will take approximately 7-8 hours depending on traffic conditions. After reaching Rishikesh, you will continue on NH7 until you reach the town of Uttarkashi. From Uttarkashi, follow the roads towards Kaflani, which is located in the Lesser Himalaya region. Be prepared for winding roads and ensure your vehicle is in good condition for hill driving.

Public Transportation - Bus

You can take a bus from Dehradun to Uttarkashi, which takes around 6-7 hours. Buses depart regularly from the Dehradun Bus Terminal.

Check the local bus schedules for the latest departures.

For a more comfortable journey, you can hire a taxi from Dehradun directly to Kaflani. This will be more expensive than public transport but will allow you to travel at your own pace.
