Actually I started my drive in night approx 12:00 and I have stayed at a DHABA in between the way.

When I Reached to Rishikesh, I really feel that "i am in the  Heaven" Really, it is best place for everyone.
I have clicked some pictures before the bathing. There are some pictures:

After the clicked some pictures and walked here and where. I thought that "It is the time to bath". When I touch the water, it was so cold.

After this activity, I went to bath. It was an great chance for me.
