There are up to three daily trains from Delhi to Kathgodam (KGM), which is the closest train station to Mukteshwar. From Kathgodam you can book a taxi to Mukteshwar, the trip should take about 2 hours as you climb the mountain roads. You can also get one of the many shared-cabs to Bhowali, and then change for Mukteshwar. If you're travelling in the morning expect to have a large and interesting local crowd travelling with you on your way to Mukteshwar from Bhowali. People can be rather reserved but are generally friendly if you wish to break the ice. The vehicles are used to transport not just people, but also essential goods such as milk, newspapers and an abundance of local flowers.
There are also regular bus services from Delhi Anand Vihar Bus station to Haldwani, which is very close to Kathgodam. Taxis are available from Haldwani to Mukteshwar.
By car from Delhi, you can take the NH24 and travel through Hapur road, Brijghat, Muradabad, Rampur, Bilaspur, Rudrapur, Haldwani and finally Kathgodam. The roads are generally good until Rampur. From Rampur to Rudrapur the roads tend to be less well maintained. Mukteshwar is about 70km from Kathgodam and will take you about two hours as you climb to about 2450m (8000 ft) but its worth taking the pain.
If you are not comfortable on mountain roads, try to get a seat in the front. The roads are rather twisty and can cause discomfort to some people.

The northern side of Mukteshwar is occupied by IVRI and perhaps the PWD Circuit House is one of the places to offer good Himalayan sight. There also is the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam tourist hotel which has a terrific location, next to the PWD circuit house. The circuit house, by the way, has housed Jim Corbett for long stretches in the past.
