Same has happened with me earlier they used to approve it in couple of days however this time they are taking more time, I guess it'll be done in a week or so.
Both stations are there in the rishikesh itself ... book tickets to any of them and you may reach rishikesh ... you may get a local auto for 50-100 bucks to your hotel anywhere in rishikesh after that ... RKSH is near TRIVENI GHAT ... YNRK is a little afar !

Uttarakhand is good for solo female traveller and trek. People and She teams there are really good they even help you in case of any emergency. But for a snow trek I'll recommend you to book a guide cuz you don't get hot food and hot water while on trek unless you have a local guide.
Manali can be a good destination for solo female travelers. I suggest you go for group camping trip as it is completely safe and you can travel without any stress of deciding or planning the trip. You can also look into the camping trips Tripoto itself has to offer as I can assure you that it is a quality and a scam-proof site. Hope it helps :)
