Day 1

1st I reached Dehradun and went to Mussoorie with public transport. We will get bus from Mussoorie bus stand which is near to Dehradun railway station. When I  reached Mussoorie the weather was great as it was in the month of January. The place is around a radius of 30 km. Kempty falls is bit far from mall road, I couldn't make to danulti where we could find snow as I was out of time. Lal tibba is the highest and best place in Mussoorie. I would suggest you to rent a bike for around 300 rs as the places are bit far away, 5km approx. Then I returned to my room which was in Dehradun. Had great street foods and slept early

Day 2

The next day I took bus to Joshimath which cost's 500 rs early morning from  bus stand, the bus was on 5.30. The journey is at least 12 hrs and the road is dangerous and breath taking , I would suggest you to go to Joshimath after one or 2 yrs by which road construction will be completed and will be safe to travel..
I reached Joshimath by night 7.30 pm and took Dom in govt guest house and had good food. The temperature was around 0 degrees. I slept early because i needed rest 😅

Day 3

The main purposes of my trip was to vist auli which is a skie resort will a great cable car, there is at least 4foot snow 🌨. The transportation to auli is through road and cable car, As snow blocked the roads only option was cable car 🚡 which cost 1000rs per person, but its worth it. I had got some frnds from there and had lot of fun.
We had 4 hrs to explore the place, there is many trekking from auli but all is closed due to snow fall.
I was soo lucky to witness snowfall, I was overjoyed and satisfied.
There was also rooms at  skie resort which cost 4k and above per night.
That was a great day.
I had to sleep early as my bus was on 4.30 to rishikesh

Day 4

I reach Rishikesh by 3.00pm and was excited to explore the most famous spiritual place in India in the banks of Ganga.
The beauty of Ganga is astonishing.
I went ramjula Lakshmanjula and was blessed to witness marvalous Puja held in the banks of Ganga. The vibrance of Ganga Arati is next level of the Puja is held at both morning and evening for the worship of the sangam of 3 Holy rivers Ganga, yamuna and saraswthi at triveni gatt. My trip was completed with such a experience. And I returned to Delhi via bus
