I reached Rishikesh Around 6 in the Morning from Delhi. I got a share auto for RS 100 from Natraj Chowk to Tapovan Hashtag Hostel. I paid 250 per day for My Hostel. I met a new friend from Poland Marcin. We decided to explore around. We visited Laxman Jhoola. Shambala Cafe (Must Visit)I paid 250. Saw sunset and went to the Beatles Cafe. I ordered there burger and chai. 350. Definitely not recommended as it's expensive and not wroth the money.

Today was the day I actually came Rishikesh for. River Rafting. I managed to bargain and book a slot for me in 600rs. Before that i had a aaloo paratha for 50rs. Our Captain Amit Rana was well experienced and he made sure we had fun. I even free floated in the water. I felt like I was reborn from Ganga. My soul was cleansed. All the negativity was washed away. We decided to take a break at Maggi Point. I jumped from the Cliff. Something which I would have never done before because of my phobia of water and hieghts, but that day I managed to overcome both. I spent 50rs for Maggi. After the raft I was so tired I slept. In the evening I went to this place Buddha Momo's. Amazing Momo's with great Soup in 70rs. For Dinner I had veg thali for 120rs

Today was the day where I have walked the most ever in my life. For breakfast I went to this little cozy Italian style Cafe known as "Cafe Moktan" I had Honey Lemon Ginger for RS 40 and Chocolate Puff for 50. To digest the heavy bread I went straight to the Beatles Ashram which i like 6kms away from my Hostel. I paid 150rs for the entry. I saw a couple of peacocks dancing 😍. I wish the Beatles Ashram would have been a little Maintained. Apart from the community graffiti there is nothing to see. I had got great pictures for myself though. I was thirsty and purchased water bottle for 10. I went to Parmarth Aashram which is famous for the ganga Aarti,(Share Auto 50). I clicked few pictures and went to the ghats to devour some chat. I got some tikki chat for Myself Rs 30. I was a little more hungry so I went to ChotiWale for a plate of Chole Bhature Rs 67. After filling myself up I decided to enjoy the famous RamJhoola and Goa Beach. I hitchhiked myself to Laxman Jhoola and Got bit of Aarti for Myself. The last Dinner we went to was Little Buddha Cafe in which the bill was 750 which was split three ways i.e 250.
We bought some juice and Chips which Coated me another 80rs
