Pickup points
We pick up from Dehradun Railway Station, ISBT, Jolly Grant Airport, hotels in Dehradun, and from Mussoorie. Starting from Mussoorie adds about an hour and a half to the drive.
What to expect
In Rishikesh, most visitors head to Ram Jhula, Triveni Ghat and the cafés and ashrams along the river. In Haridwar, the evening Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri is the highlight — plan to arrive well before sunset, as the ghats get very crowded. Parking near the ghats is limited, so we drop you at the nearest convenient point and wait or return at an agreed time.
Festival days and the Kanwar Yatra season bring heavy traffic and route diversions. Tell us your dates and we'll advise on timing.
Best time to travel
October to March is the most comfortable season for Rishikesh and Haridwar. Summer afternoons in the plains are hot, so early starts help. During the monsoon, the Ganga runs high and some riverside areas may be closed.
Fares
Fares depend on the vehicle, trip type and season. Send an inquiry or message us on WhatsApp and our team confirms the final fare with you before the trip — nothing is charged automatically.
