After having early morning breakfast, we depart towards Rishikesh. On the way, we will get the gorgeous view of Tehri Lake. Rishikesh is a famous sacred town on the bank of Ganga. Shivalik range of the Himalayas bounds it on three sides. There is a belief that Raibhya Rishi did hard penance here, and the god named Rishikesh appeared, henceforth the name came to be known as Rishikesh. Upon arriving at Rishikesh, we will visit Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula on foot, as the vehicle won’t reach these places. The Ganga Aarti typically starts by 6 PM in summer seasons, and 5:15 PM in winters. Those who did it before can enjoy some more time in Rishikesh and sightsee around. Or you can reach Haridwar and visit this beautiful place. As this is the last day of your trip which ends at Railway station.
