CNG, EV charging and toilets across Kumaon

One sourced map for the three things a road trip runs out of. 111 entries across six districts, each with its source and how far we could verify it. Updated 2026-09-27.

Short answer. CNG in Kumaon is a plains fuel: 19 sourced stations, all in Udham Singh Nagar and the Haldwani plain, and none in the hills, so fill up in Haldwani or Rudrapur. Public EV charging follows the same line: 64 listed points, with DC fast charging in Haldwani, Lalkuan, Rudrapur, Kashipur and Ramnagar, one intermittent 120 kW charger on the Rusi bypass at Nainital, and nothing operator-listed beyond that towards Almora, Kausani, Bageshwar or Pithoragarh. Public toilets are the thin layer: 9 confirmed open out of 26 sourced, several reported locked, so this section is a status log, not a directory.

PNGRB CGD MIS as on 31 Aug 2025
EV charging

Where fast charging stops

  • Fast charging in Nainital town. One operator-listed DC fast charger: Statiq at Apni Rasoi dhaba on the Rusi bypass (120 kW, two CCS2 guns, 24 hours). It showed unavailable at the time of checking but had a recorded session two days earlier, so treat it as intermittent. Nothing DC-rated at Bhimtal, Bhowali, Kainchi Dham or Mukteshwar. Statiq station listing, checked 27 Sep 2026
  • Haldwani to Almora, Kausani, Bageshwar. The last operator-listed DC charger northbound is at Fortune Walkway Mall on the Haldwani-Kathgodam stretch (or Rusi bypass if you leave via Nainital). No operator-listed charger of any kind after that at Bhimtal, Bhowali, Kainchi Dham, Almora, Ranikhet, Kausani, Binsar or Bageshwar. Statiq, ChargeZone and Ather listings, checked 27 Sep 2026
  • Haldwani to Pithoragarh via Tanakpur. Last operator-listed DC chargers are BPCL Amba Filling Station at Sitarganj (30 kW) and BPCL Maa Sharada Service Station at Bawanpuri on SH-41 (60 kW). Nothing operator-listed at Khatima, Tanakpur, Champawat, Lohaghat or Pithoragarh. Statiq (BPCL roaming) listings, checked 27 Sep 2026
  • State policy. The June 2026 draft Uttarakhand EV policy proposed chargers every 50 km on national and state highways. Cabinet sent it back for redrafting on 26 Aug 2026, so no approved target exists. Transport Department chargers at GMVN rest houses are Garhwal only; no KMVN rest house charger was found.

Toilets

Where a stop is a problem

  • Nainital. Community toilets charge Rs 5 for the urinal and Rs 10 for the toilet. Tallital has one complex, privately run, near the Lake Bridge toll. There is no toilet on Thandi Sadak; PWD surveyed one in March 2026. Zila Panchayat is building 12 on the Rusi bypass. Amar Ujala 28 Apr 2025, 20 Mar 2026, 23 May 2026
  • Kainchi Dham. No permanent public toilet as of April 2024. Hi-tech toilets are part of a Rs 17.59 crore destination package under construction (Feb 2026). Mobile toilets are placed at parking sites for the 15 June mela. Amar Ujala 28 Apr 2024; Dynamite News 21 Feb 2026
  • Bus stands and stations. Rudrapur Roadways stand toilets were locked on two visits in August 2026. Lalkuan station toilets were ordered removed in May 2026. Kathgodam gets new blocks under the Amrit Bharat scheme, completion not confirmed. Pithoragarh Roadways and KMOU stands have toilets, short of water. Amar Ujala Aug 2026, May 2026, Sep 2026; Pioneer Edge Jul 2023
  • Women-only (pink) toilets. Sourced at Rudrapur (near the Roadways stand, Rs 10, six seats, feeding room), Kashipur (Maharana Pratap Chowk), Pithoragarh (Siltham-Bhatkot tiraha) and Khatima (locked since its March 2025 inauguration). None sourced for Haldwani or Nainital. Amar Ujala 2025 and 2026 reports

Only what a named source says.

Verified

An operator, oil company, government or municipal source lists it, or two independent named sources agree. 59 of 111 entries.

Reported

One named news or operator-adjacent source. Most toilet entries sit here because no Kumaon municipality publishes a toilet directory. 26 entries.

Unverified

A directory listing or a single community submission only. Kept because it may help, shown grey so you know not to rely on it. 26 entries.

Pins and rings

43 exact points from operators, 38 approximate (operator map pins, decoded plus codes, OpenStreetMap landmarks), 29 drawn as a ring on the town centre because the site is not published. Google Maps data is not used.

Quick answers

Questions drivers ask about Kumaon.

Is there CNG in Nainital, Almora or the hills?

No station is sourced anywhere in the hills. CNG in Kumaon is a plains product: Indian Oil-Adani Gas in Udham Singh Nagar (Rudrapur, Kashipur, Kichha, Jaspur, Bazpur, Khatima) and HPCL in the Haldwani plain and on the Ramnagar road. PNGRB counts one commissioned station for the whole five-district hill licence area and its location is not published. Fill up in Haldwani or Rudrapur before climbing.

Where is the last CNG station before the hills from Delhi?

On the Delhi-Moradabad-Rampur road the last CNG in Uttar Pradesh is at Bhot on NH-9. Inside Uttarakhand you get Rudrapur, then Haldwani: Prime Service Centre on Rampur Road and Shaheed Chandan Filling Station on Bareilly Road. Nothing is sourced beyond Haldwani towards Kathgodam, Bhimtal or Nainital.

Can I fast-charge an electric car in Nainital?

One operator-listed DC fast charger exists at the edge of town: Statiq at Apni Rasoi dhaba on the Rusi bypass, 120 kW with two CCS2 guns, 24 hours. It showed unavailable when we checked but had a recorded session two days earlier, so treat it as intermittent and arrive with reserve. The reliable fast chargers are in Haldwani (Fortune Walkway Mall, BPCL pumps) and Lalkuan.

Is there any EV charger between Haldwani and Almora or Kausani?

Not one that any operator lists. After Fortune Walkway Mall on the Haldwani-Kathgodam stretch there is no operator-listed charger at Bhimtal, Bhowali, Kainchi Dham, Almora, Ranikhet, Kausani, Binsar or Bageshwar. Almora, Bageshwar and Champawat districts have no sourced public charger of any kind.

Why are so few toilets listed, and why are some marked closed?

Because we list only what a named source confirms. No municipal body in Kumaon publishes a toilet directory, so most entries come from Hindi press reports, which tend to cover toilets that are new, locked or broken. That makes this a status log rather than a directory. If you know a public toilet that is missing, send us the location and we will add it with your report as the source.

What do Verified, Reported and Unverified mean?

Verified means an operator, oil company, government or municipal source lists it, or two independent named sources agree. Reported means one named news or operator-adjacent source. Unverified means only a directory listing or a single community submission, kept because it may help you but not something we vouch for.

How accurate are the map pins?

A pin is drawn only where the source published coordinates or a landmark we could place on OpenStreetMap. A dashed ring means we know the town but not the site, and the ring sits on the town centre. Distances shown after Near me are straight-line, not road distance.

Is Google Maps data used here?

No. Coordinates come from operator listings (Statiq, HPCL, IOAGPL, ChargeZone), from plus codes in published addresses, or from OpenStreetMap. Directions links open your own maps app at the coordinates we hold.
