By Road
(The best option is to) travel from Delhi by road. Delhi to Haridwar is 199 kms. on National Highway no. 47 (NH-47). The climb from Haridwar to Joshimath is 277 kms and takes about 9-11 hours depending on an average speed, type of vehicle, no of halts taken in between for refreshments, views ,etc. The ascent to Joshimath winds through Rishikesh, Srinagar, Karnaprayag, and Chamoli. Joshimath to Cliff Top Club Resort is 17 km by road or 4 km/20 minutes by cable car. The ropeway is Asia's highest and second largest, and charges Rs. 500/- per person for a round trip. Initial 14 Kms is a metalled road and the last 3 Kms is steep climb and bumpy, because of banned construction by the Border Roads Authority. This last 3 Kms is better negotiated by a 4WD / 4x4 vehicle that to during non-snow fall time. We suggest a stay at Rishikesh/Haridwar/Srinagar/Deoprayag/Rudraprayag to break the journey if required, where we have our own units / tieups. The Guests reaching Auli / Garhwal Region (Western Uttaranchal) from Kumaon Region (Eastern Uttaranchal) can have a night stay at Kausani/ Ranikhet / Mukteshwar if they are coming from Nainital/Corbett National Park .

By Air
