Transport for Auli




By Bus
From New Delhi to Haridwar
Buses for Haridwar leaves from ISBT Kashmere Gate. There is bus every 30–45 minutes going to Haridwar/Rishikesh/Dehradun. Prefer bus with cushioned seats with recline option as journey is long and through rough roads. Haridwar lies around 214 km from New Delhi on the NH no. 58. The buses are operated by different state transport corporation. This leads to chaos. No matter what the conductor or ISBT official claim but fact is no bus leaves till all the seats are full. There are some private buses available but the story is same and more frustrating as they collect charges before boarding whereas in state operated services one has many choices. Frustration end only when bus leaves the ISBT. There isn't much in terms of outside view on this route. Ideally buses takes 7–8 hours. Best time to catch bus is around 9.00 AM. This will take you to Haridwar around 4 PM. Once in Haridwar look for hotel near the bus stand.
