Pithoragarh can be accessed by bus, taxi only. The buses are available from New Delhi at ISBT Anand Vihar which are of category general to luxury, the buses have two routes: 1. New Delhi to Haldwani to Pithoragarh 2. New Delhi to Tanakpur to Pithoragarh If you come by the first option then you have to get down at Haldwani and from there you will get a shared taxi to Pithoragarh, in this option the buses available from Delhi are of both categories (i.e A/C, non A/C), but if you come by the second option then you will get a direct bus from there, but the condition of the roads is not good, so it is advised to come by the first option.
There is a new AirStrip and ATC set up near NainiSaini, and is likely to come up once some political and technical hurdles are overcome.
There is a new riverside road project in line, that will reduce the journey time by a huge factor.
