Exploring Rishikesh - What a wonderful tour. Three hours visiting the most fascinating ashrams, temples and significant places along the Ganges. Mohit my guide on this private tour of Rishikesh was a wealth of knowledge and insight.
We returned in the evening for the Aarti Ceremony on the banks of the Ganges. A spectacular way to conclude this great experience. Huge thanks to Mohit who was a wonderful guide.

Wonderful Walking Tour Focused on the Real Spiritual Reasons for Visiting Rishikesh - This was a wonderful, and very affordable, walking tour of the sacred Ganges land of Rishikesh. The guide was friendly and, most importantly, a local with connections to the high importance of Shaivism within Rishikesh with important stops at several temples. The Ganga Aarti experience was performed by a priest from a local Shiva temple who we had met earlier adding more reverence to the tour.
Most important, my trip to Rishikesh was to honor a lost loved one and offer a diya to Ganga Ma. The guide not only respected this but took it very serious and important and helped. He even said words of encouragement knowing it was emotional.
Ultimately, this tour understands that Rishikesh is a place of reverence and deep spiritual importance to both Hindus and anyone with a respect for the ancient religions of South Asia. With so many tours for white water rafting, helicopter tours, zip lining, etc., it is VERY important this tour keeps the focus on the reason why you should be in the spiritual place.

Professional- Insightful- Safe for solo female-Take good pics - My experience in this solo trip with Pradeep was excellent! If you are looking to find someone who would make you feel safe and professional in the case you are travelling solo. Look no any further. Not only that, Pradeep is very knowledgeable in offering me insights to the places that we go. The extra benefit is that Pradeep is also a photographer! So you will surely guarantee to get beautiful pictures along the tour.

Discovering Rishikesh with Pradeep - Discovering Rishikesh with Pradeep was like walking through this magical place with and old friend. He truly was a pleasure to be with and he explained so much about the area, paying particular focus on the spiritual details. This extended through our day. I’m still hearing “Let it Be” Pradeep….Thank you!

An easy going packed day! - Pradeep was very patient, knowledgeable, and easy going. I enjoyed learning about Rishikesh and Hinduism. I got to see and experience a lot of Rishikesh and it was lovely to have a local to ask all my questions. So happy I did this on my second day, I feel much more oriented.
