I did two tours, the day tour of Rishikesh and the sunrise trip. I really liked the clear communication with the guide even before the tour. The tour was personalised to give me a really good experience. It was a hazy day, so we didn't see the mountains unfortunately. The daytrip of Rishikesh surroundings also brought us to the hills, I loved the peace and quiet of the more rural parts. Tour guide spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable. Driver was good and safe. Thanks for taking care of me!

Your appreciation for our guide, driver and communication means a lot to us! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure—hopefully with clear mountain views next time!
