The road distance from Mumbai to Nainital is 1,604 km via NH48, Delhi - Vadodara Expressway — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 33 toll plazas across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand. For a car the published fees add up to ₹810 one way, about ₹0.50 per km, cheaper than most highway corridors. 24 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹1,920 extra to be safe.
Dahisar is free for cars: Cars, jeeps and vans (LMVs) pay no toll at Mumbai's five entry points since 14 October 2024 (Maharashtra government decision). Heavier vehicles still pay.
At 27 h of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
Nainital is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.

The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 8 crossings one way — worth about ₹123 of pass value against ₹810 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.

About 107 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹12,028 at Mumbai prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~89 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~146 L.
Around ₹14,758 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹12,028 + toll ₹2,730), or ₹29,097 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹3,690 each, one way.
Plan on about 27 h including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 19 h 15 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹9,225, 3-axle ₹10,495, 4–6 axle ₹14,645, 7+ axle ₹17,700 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Nainital to Mumbai toll is the same ~₹2,730 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Nainital's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
