My guide was Alpesh! He is a very interesting, intelligent, knowledgeable, easy going and customer oriented young fellow! You can also get in touch with him on the phone before the tour and give him some ideas of your preference, including your timing, and he will tune the tour based on your desires and requirements. During the tour he will give you many tips and hints and ideas how to get around. Especially recommended for those who has never been in Rishikesh before.

Take a walking guide round Rishikesh to point out the places of interest. Temples, Ashrams and the old no longer used Ashram where the Beatles stayed. After that is pretty easy to navigate and find your way around. Lovely little hamlet.

Took us to parts of Rishikesh we probably wouldn't have made it to otherwise, and our guide was friendly, personable, and excited to be with us.

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.
