Great tour. Learned so much more than I would have on my own. Visited all of the key temples and ashrams and the guide explained the significance of each temple and Ashram in Rishikesh very well. Definitely recommend.
Beautiful Rishikesh

What a wow 😮 We loved this tour, Raj our guide was just perfect. So knowledgeable and very patient with our young family. He took his time and did the tour at our pace. We really wanted to see the Ganga Aarti later in the evening so Raj stayed with us 3 hours longer than planned. He was so accommodating. 5 stars 🌟

I took a 1/2 day walking tour to get oriented in Rishikesh very much a walking city.

The day in question was a Super Full Blue Moon Eclipse! - a truly rare Lunar event, and significant in the Tantric Hindu calendar.

Therefore many of the temple and Ashram offerings were unscheduled. But we improvised.

Sunny is very knowledgeable on everything from best eateries to navigating your way, and also a genuine understanding of Yogic philosophy The Mahabharata, The Bhagavad Gita, the history of Uttarakhand, so on.

We walked far, enjoyed a great lunch, went to the beach, I washed my feet head and face in Mother Ganga, and still made time for an earlier than usual Arti offering at Parmarth Niketan Ashram.

A full day of wonder passed neatly into 6 hours.

Not to mention, Sunny himself is a great character, good company, and one day hes gonna be a Star of wilderness tourism and TV.

Money well spent.
Make sure you tip these guys, they travel long distances to do their work and support their families.

A great day.
