Four days. More than one Rishikesh.
The Rishikesh 4-Day / 3-Night Tour Package is designed for travellers who want to experience Rishikesh as more than a quick stop between Haridwar and the mountains.
The journey begins with the Ganga, ghats and spiritual atmosphere of the town; continues into the forested hill route towards Neelkanth Mahadev Temple; shifts into the adventure corridor around Shivpuri; and finishes with Rishikesh’s heritage, ashram and riverside culture.
Uttarakhand Tourism describes Rishikesh as a major pilgrimage hub, internationally recognised yoga and meditation centre, Beatles-linked destination, rafting centre and gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas.

Rishikesh is not entirely car-based sightseeing.
Travellers should expect:
walking around ghats;
pedestrian bridge approaches;
narrow lanes;
some vehicle-restricted riverfront areas;
stairs around temples/ashrams;
traffic congestion on weekends and holidays;
winding roads towards Neelkanth.
Comfortable footwear should therefore be treated as a genuine requirement, not filler advice.
