About Dharamghar
Dharamgarh is a place which does not fall on the popular travel routes of Nainital - Kausani - Chaukori - Munsyari. It is a remote destination and not very well known as compared to famous nearby place Chaukori.

The place also serves as base for visiting three temples located in its vicinity namely Sangad Temple (Nauling Devta), Shikhar Temple (Mul Narayan Jyu) and Bhanar Temple (Banjain Jyu) which are revered very highly by the local populace and visited on every auspicious occasion for offering their gratitude for wishes fulfilled or to make a wish.

Sangad Temple: There is another temple dedicated to “Nauling Devta” in the village of Sangad which is at a distance of around 4 km from Dharamghar. The village of Sangad is now connected with a motor road but the road is not in very good condition as the road is unpaved (kucha road).

Dhamot Home Stay Dharamghar Location - How to Reach
"Dharamghar" situated amidst thick “Oak Tree” forest is located 7 km northwards from Chaukori at an elevation of 2100 mts above sea level. It forms the border of two administrative districts Pithoragarh and Bageshwar of Kumaon Mandal.
Getting There
Dharamgarh can be reached by road only after leaving the last railway station located at Kathgodam. The road distance is approximately 175 kms from Kathgodam which is connected to major cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Dehradun through rail services run by Indian Railways. From there one can come through private taxies running on share basis or public transport.
Bus Service from Delhi
There is a bus service of Uttarakhand Roadways, the State transport from Anand Vihar, New Delhi to Dharamghar directly. It leaves from Anand Vihar ISBT at 5 PM (please confirm its timing with Uttarakhand Roadways in Anand Vihar, Delhi) and reaches Dharamghar next day at 4-5 PM making it approximately 24 hrs run.
By Road: There are three routes to reach Dharamgarh from Kathgodam/Haldwani. The first one is via “Kausani” which is the longest route among three and runs from Haldwani to Almora to Kausani to Bageshwar to Kotmanya and then Dharamghar. The second route is via “Takula” little shorter than Kausani route and runs from Haldwani to Almora to Takula to Bageshwar to Kotmanya and then Dharamghar. The third route is via “Sheraghat” and is the most preferred route as it is shortest in distance. It runs from Haldwani to Almora to Sheraghat to Berinag to Chaukori to Kotmanya and then Dharamghar.
So the road till Almora is common in all three routes and diverges after that. The first two routes running via Kausani and Takula diverge from Almora and then again merge at Bageshwar.
Note: You need to remember the place “Kotmanya” as from this place you will be needed to take a detour of 5 km to reach Dharamghar.
