Rishikesh is an amazing place to visit at least once.
A place full of worship,tourists from all over the world and the famous attractions Rafting,bungy, flying fox and other crazy adventurous activities to let you experience something that you never gonna experience easily.
We were on a weekend trip and left Dehradun on Saturday morning .
We planned for a day visiting and other for Rafting.
The plan was on,the tickets were booked and so was our journey to this amazing city of Rishikesh.
To reach Rishikesh from Dehradun,private buses are easily available from the Isbt Dehradun (56 rupees).
The buses can be easily available as they are running continuously at regular intervals.
The time the bus takes is hardly an hour to reach.
