Tushita was a great guide, she met me at the hotel and walked with me over the bridge to the taxi. Watched the sunrise from the temple and had a little breakfast. Hike down was steep and slippy, you needed a stick to help with balance and not falling over. Route took a winding small single track between villages with very few other people around. Definitely not a tourist route and not on any maps. Stunning views on the way down. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to escape the city for the morning and see the countryside. For the price it should come with a simple breakfast and snack, as well as return transport to your hotel at the end (these you pay for yourself).

I booked this trip to get out of Rishikesh for the day and get a glimpse of the higher Himalayas, and it was really great and very well organised. I was collected at 5.30am and we got to the temple in time for a beautiful sunrise and view of the snow capped Himalayas and source of the Ganga. And then the trek down was wonderful, a really peaceful walk through small, friendly villages, and not too challenging! The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend this trip.
