Day 2. After 42 hours of journey we reached Haridwar Station. 5 minutes walk from Haridwar station there is bus deport who will charged 40 rupees to drop you to Rishikesh depot. Once we reached rishikesh depot we hired vikram auto service for 250 rupees who has drop us on the main road of Laxman Jhula. We cross laxman jhula and checked into Maa Ganga Guest House. Freshen-up and then street hopping. We went for dinner at Shiva Momos Central and Janta Pure Veg Restaurant. Back to hotel and had peaceful sleep.
Day 3. We got up early to reach Jumping Heights booking office which is in Tapovan. All the formality was done (300 Rupees for pick and drop service and 100 Rupees for entry fees was paid their however slot for bungee jump was booked online 15 days before the trip) and the ride for the Jumping heights has began which is almost 1 hours. On reaching Jumping Heights, safety instruction was given along with all the necessary formality was done. Locker is provided by them to keep all the belonging (Bag, phone, specs, etc ). After that we went to jumping site which is just 2 minutes walk able. Jump was done successful in first attempt and was amazing experience. After the jump there is 15-20 minutes ascend which will lead to Jumping height cafeteria were one can watch the video of their bungee jump and then purchase the same by paying 900 rupees, Video is provided in Pen Drive along with certificate and I've got gutt !!! batches. After the bungee jump we were drop at jumping height booking office and we went to Devraj Coffee Corner German Bakery & Restaurant for lunch. I highly recommend to visit this restaurant. The lunch was over and it was time for walk so we went to Ram Jhula which is 2 Km from Laxman Jhula. On the way I found Ganga Beach which is next to Ram Jhula. The beach is clean and surrounded by tourist. One can sit on beach and enjoy the beauty of nature alongside of Ganga River until the sunset. After the sunset one can explore Parmarth Niketan and Ram Jhula. Dinner was done at purple dhaba.
Day 4. Got up late today and has breakfast/lunch at little buddha cafe. Took vikram from ram jhula and went to rishkesh market for some shopping. Near to rishikesh market there is Triveni Ghat, Evening time is the best for some solitude so one can experience Ganga aarti during sunset. Sit by the beach at the far end of the ghat where the hill is closer and the street lights are dimmer. You'll hear the river speak to you. After peaceful evening it was time for dinner which was done at Hari Om Cafe.
Day 5. The day started early today and it was time to explore beatles ashram which is 3 km from my hotel. We will forever remember beatles cafe way this place made me feel. It was so peaceful and filled with positive energy. The hall dedicated to the Beatles was breathtaking. The entry ticket for beatles ashram is 150/- pp. Last entry in the ashram is at 4:00 pm and you have to leave by 5:00pm otherwise you can meet a leopard or wild elephants as the ashram is located in Ranaji Tiger Reserve. After exploring this peaceful place now it was time for some adventure, so now it was time for river rafting. Our hotel person has made arrangement for river rafting for 9km the expenses is 600.00 and 900.00 for video. The whitewater rafting in Ganges is an adventure not to be missed which has some good rapid and also has option with cliff jump which is approximately 20-25 foot which is really worth doing. After the cold adventure it was time to rest for some time and back on field for shopping. I did most of my shopping nearby laxman jhula, try to negotiate while buying and dont forget to buy souvenir for your loved once. I didn't find any ATM on Laxman Jhula side however near ram jhula you will find the same.
Day 6. I started my day early to rent an E-cycle by the company know as letsplayy (https://letsplayy.com/) which is available at Hashtag Hostel. I have rent E-cycle for 600/- for 12hrs in which you will get the charger in order to charge your E-cycle incase the battery gets low. The next place for me to explore was Neel garh waterfall which is approximately 4km from hashatg hostel. This place has Rs 30 for Indian and Rs 50 for others entry fee. Open until 6 pm. After the entrance ticket about 1/4 km there is a walking trail which takes to the same spot where all vehicles stop and from there every one has to walk. Reaching to the water fall is a bit of an adventure in itself. One should have good shoes for proper grip. The climb is small but full of rocky pebbles, slippery stones etc. The same water stream is seen as multiple water falls as we walk up the hill. The best and bath able fall is at the top. Once you get inside the waterfall you will forget all the fatigue of climbing about 1/2 km to 1 km. Exploring this place can be tiring for some people due to small hike and getting wet in waterfall but its worth doing it. For lunch I went to Ganga beach cafe and for diner Lucky cafe. Back to hotel for packing and went for sleep.
