The Uttarakhand trip does not cost as much as you might be wondering. Did you know that you can explore the whole state of Uttarakhand and that the tour won’t cost you more than 20500₹?
Follow me to know more about this wonderful Uttarakhand Tour Package.
A best Uttarakhand Trip would start by taking a bus from Haridwar. I am saying Haridwar at first because it is the nearest location in Delhi to Uttarakhand in particular. Also, you will get a chance to start your journey by taking a dip in the Holy Ganga River, especially for people with Hindu beliefs. Once you are done exploring Haridwar, leave for Rishikesh and move to Dehradun and then expedite around Dehradun and Mussoorie. Later you can take a bus or even trains are available for Delhi or other locations.
Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand, also known as Devbhoomi, is one of the all-time destinations due to the weather conditions but Uttarakhand is best to visit from February to May. It is neither very hot in summer nor cold in winter.
If you are planning to beat the heat, Uttarakhand will come to your mind as well and I can bet on this. Along with the fabulous weather, the religious importance of Rishikesh and Haridwar cannot be denied.
The adventure activities in Rishikesh are on the top and still growing. Dehradun has one of the most delicious street foods and one of the best street foods of Dehradun is Momos.
The scenery of Mussoorie is just memorable and the famous children’s book writer also belongs to Mussoorie so people out there might get a chance to meet this kid’s beloved writer.

A travel guide to Uttarakhand for new comers
The best way to start your Haridwar trip is to book a hotel in advance for one night make sure to confirm that you are allowed to check in early morning and after leaving your luggage at the residence if you have any, after freshen up, take an auto to Post Office which is very near to the Ghats, you may walk to the Ghats from there however elderly people will need the human driven Rikshaw which will charge you around 20Rs.
After reaching the Ghats explore the scenic beauty there and the waves of River Ganga flowing up and down. You may take few dips in the river, also might want to try the “Tika” drawn on the forehead. People are there offering this at a price of 40-50rs, and it’s beautiful, it won’t get wiped out easily and will remain on your forehead until you wash it off.

A brief Tour guide to Uttarakhand for people with some knowledge
Visit the Ghats, explore the vibe there and take baths in the river, there are small bridges which are beautiful and good for clicking pictures, the Shiva Statue there is marvelous. Even female tourists can take bath here as good arrangements for changing cloths for them are available but always be alert and watchful. There should be someone outside while anyone is changing one’s cloths.
After exploring the ghats, if you can walk, then walk to the nearest temples, like the famous one Manasa Devi Temple, there are stairs to go uphill or you may choose the exciting journey of the Ropeway. Both Ropeway and the stairs are not at the same place, for the rope way you will have to walk towards the tower.
There are other places for which you may take auto easily but make sure to check how distant is that using google map and think if the prices charges for that much distance is logical or not and bargain accordingly.
Best Places to Visit in Haridwar
Haridwar To Rishikesh
From anywhere in Haridwar you will get the taxi or cab for Rishikesh. The taxi will charge around 500-700₹ varying season to season. There is no OLA or UBER in Haridwar so you won’t get one and you will have to book a cab manually which will cost you around 1500-2000₹.
Ram Jhula Rishikesh
In Rishikesh you should be staying in/near Tapowan as that is the ideal location for sight seeing as well as adventures activities. All the famous temples, Ghats, SPAs and adventures activities are very near to this places.
For new comers
If you are arriving Rishikesh in the morning then after your normal check in and getting fresh you may start your tour. The roads of Rishikesh have many ups and downs and some places are only walkable so be prepared for that. You will get bikes/Scooty on rent easily so even if you are travelling solo, it won’t be a problem.
Best Places to Visit in Rishikesh
Rishikesh To Mussoorie
You may wonder if Dehradun is near then why our next destination is Mussoorie. The reason behind this is the lack of transport options from Mussoorie to Delhi and other places.
Mussoorie does not only have the fabulous weather but many underrated sites which are less known to most of the people. The most common ones are easily available on the internet but there are many other places which are yet to be explored completely. So you should not miss those destinations while preparing the itinerary.
