Useful
The retiring rooms & dormitories at Kathgodam railway station are way too good to be charging a meagre sum of money for the faciliies they offer.

I had stayed in the dormitory and it was just for Rs 95 (12 hours slot). I had very low expectations to begin with, but I had no other option since I had to catch an early train in the morning, so staying as close to the station as possible was preferable.

To my surprise, the beds were neat, clean & tidy, with proper arrangements for privacy of the individual. The linens provided were neatly washed too. There was also a common sitting area where sofas were kept if you wanted to sit for a while. The toilets and bathrooms were very hygienic as well.

Being a man of few words, I'm probably underselling the expereince here. I guess you would have to be there to believe it.

My advice is, book a retiring room at KGM blindly if you ever visit the place and are looking for a place to stay.

Dormitories/retiring rooms are located on the first floor and the entry (right side of the main entry gate) as well the registration desk (at the platform) are located on the periphery of concourse.

P.S. I couldn't take any photos since I arrived late at night and left very early in the morning.

Nice pictures of KGM station from the station. The moment I saw these pics, I recollected a pic (attached) that I had clicked on my way back from Nainital to KGM station on 11/11/2009 at 15:41 hrs - yes it's almost 10 years back. And how wonderfully curved terminal it is / was. I remember even to this day, the winding river next to the KGM terminal. Great views and good station for Rail fanning!

Taxi/ Cabs are easily available outside the KGM stsn.. Standard rate for Kathgodam - Nainital in 4 seater cab is ₹400-500. in diwali season.
and ₹700 - 1000 in summer season (April, may ). Summer is the peak season for Nainital,. but if u want to explore real view of Kumaun Himalayan Range..(Nainital) than the perfect season is post Diwali period. and for snowfall its Jan end to mid Feb.. (depends on weather)..
While picking cab, U may be cautious and awaked.. As many cab driver will follow you..
...
more...
by saying u ₹1000-1300. for Nainital.. But if u are smart in bargaining.. than they will take you in ₹400-600.. As. on my trip on 22/10/17. I got cab in ₹450.. .
As per pic1 . This is the point where ur Cab will drop you in Nainital..(Near Naini lake, Bus stand).. They won't go further this point..
