3 Days Trip in Rishikesh 

Kashmiri Gate bus stand

Dec 22, 2017 the day I decided to let Rishikesh from Delhi. Delhi to Rishikesh distance is only 245 km. We were all ready to go to Rishikesh but nobody had the courage for went at night. After dinner we were all ready and went to the bus stand.

Transportation:

Trains, Flight (Dehradun Airport, approximately 35 kilometers away) and Buses, all modes of transport are available to reach here. We choose the bus because we couldn't get confirm booking in train. I was finally at the "Gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas". We boarded our bus from Kashmiri Gate with the hope to see the gateway. Bus normally takes 8 to 9 hours, but we were travelling at night so the bus took only 6 hours. So night bus journey was a better option.

Rishikesh

In that chilly morning, In the holy land of Rishikesh, our bus arrived at 6AM. We all went to my friend's house. Firstly, we decided to relax a bit after relaxes us took breakfast and get out going on 9: am

Day -1 (Tehri dam 85 km distance from Rishikesh)

We all decided to go to the Tehri dam with bike so we have booked bike from a biker rent shop near “Ram Jhula”. (Ram Jhula is an iron suspension bridge across the river Ganges.) We all ride bikes on mountain road in first time but everyone fully enjoy of road trip. We were reached the Tehri Dam that we saw a place which was a very good sight. Being a tallest dam in India and one of the tallest dam in the world, Tehri dam becomes a major tourist attraction in Uttarakhand.

When we reached the Tehri Dam, we have not passed for entry. So that the officer did not let us in. We all requested to officer, but he did not give us permission.

Day -2 (Neelkanth Mahadev Temple 30 km distance from Rishikesh)

We have planned the next day for Neelkanth Mahadev with bike so we have booked bike from shop and enjoy the ride. Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is a Hindu temple situated at an altitude of 1330 m and is located in the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand.
