Kept waiting at the location for half an hour until 4:15 pm ist. The operator does not receive the call, neither calls up. Requested for refund.
My guide was very helpful. He gave me a lot of information and took good care of me. He spoke good English and I learned much!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted to have served you on this spiritual journey and are thrilled to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
we went to neelkanth mahadev from rishikesh , it took around 1.5 hours by taxi . you can hire shared taxi for 8 people which is cheap . the temple is on a hill . long ques are expected on week ends . there are a lot shops for prasads who also take care of your foot wear . in peak season the taxi drop you about 1 km away from the shrine .although I saw some shared taxis near to the shrine . may be there are some way to bend the rules . the darshan was devine and that is what important . jai mahadev
