Get your luggage, exit arrivals at Pantnagar Airport (PGH), and collect your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown Haldwani, around 12 miles from the terminal, choose something small and zippy. A compact car that’s fuel-efficient will be ideal for navigating those winding city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the glorious snowfields of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
