Tour good but in the car for so many hours. Driver exceptional, looked after us so well. Hotel was basic, not three star standard. For the price, would recommend the trip. Nice touch was that the owner of the company visited us once we got back to Delhi

This tour is a good way to get up into the mountains a little from Delhi. The car ride is pretty long but it is also a great way to see and experience India. Riding on an India highway is an experience in of itself. Our driver was really great and took us to a bunch of cool Hindu temples. Rishikesh was beautiful and a great place to just wander around.
