Hey Rosel, Rishikesh is an all year round destination to visit ... The best way to reach from Mumbai would be .. Board a flight to Delhi ... take an over night train to Haridwar from Mumbai ... and then only 20 Kms from there you will be in Rishikesh ... or else Dehradun flight is also dre ... but that will be a little costly ... from Dehradun you have buses and the journey takes hardly 3 hrs ... Happy Travelling Bro!!!
Avoid monsoon. Other than that you can visit anytime. Take a flight to Delhi and there are direct buses to Rishikesh from there. You can stay at Zostel or Bunk Stay (I stayed here) Some of the activities: Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat, Bungee Jump, Patna Waterfall and take a stroll on Ram and Lankan Jhula.
From Mumbai, You can go to multiple destinations to reach Rishikesh. Mumbai to Delhi then Rishikesh
Via Flight
Take a flight to Delhi (2500 -3000 rupees) which will take 2 hours approx then take a Volvo bus to Rishikesh(600 -700 rupees) which will again take 6 hours approximately. Mumbai to Haridwar then Rishikesh
Via Train
It is the most convenient way to reach Rishikesh but it will take time around 18–24 hours to reach there. Take a direct train to Haridwar from Mumbai which can cost around 800–4500 depending on which class you are traveling.

3rd AC will cost you around 1500–2800 rupees
2nd AC will cost around 2800–3500 rupees

Take a flight to Dehradun which may cost you from 3700 to 7000. but it will take approx 3 to 5 hours depending on a flight is connecting or direct.

Hey Rosel, The best time to visit Rishikesh is in summers but you can visit in winters as well ( less crowd + cheap rates). I would suggest covering these also : 1) Lansdowne 2) Jim Corbett National Park
3) Mussourie 4) Auli
5) Haridwar For Accommodation : 1) Book with OYO
2) For budget accommodation stay at Dharamshala in Rishikesh 3) Book hostels at www.hostelworld.com if travelling solo Happy travelling!!!!!

Honestly speaking, this sole article serves all Rishikesh travel related queries and helpful in the most meaningful way. The quality content is unmatched and addresses the targeted objectives. Keep posting articles like that. Depending upon budget, leisure time availability and adventure craving, a traveler can opt for train, car or air journey. Adventurous youth may opt for road journey and then the issue of halt points gets relevant but in case of train and flight, the halt points are neither required nor can be chosen.
