I started my journey at Bangalore airport. I got a transit flights from Bengaluru to Mumbai and Mumbai to Dehradun. After reaching Dehradun airport I took a cab which was available in the airport itself and went to Parmath Niketan… I have already booked my rooms there.
- This is the Dehradun airport where I. Reached by evening…
- This is Parmath Niketan Ashram.
The food was really awesome at Parmath…You can get everything there and room rent was also affordable. Then next day we moved to Dhayananth Saraswati Ashram which is totally opposite to the Parmath… There is no way to travel except walking… There is a bridge called Janki near Parmath…we walked to through the bridge and reached the other side… The view was so beautiful that we walked to the Dhayananth ashram by feet…We reached ashram by evening and left out luggage and things there and went out for near by sightseeing. So many street foods were available there. The one thing i enjoyed the most is that I saw moon rising from the mountains…Yess it is true. I really enjoyed watching the full moon rising above and shining brightly. Dhayananth ashram provides typical ashram food which is free and their rooms were totally good

The next day we went to Vashista Guha to get blessings from Vashistar and Arundhati Mata… During our trip to Vashista Guha we met so many cute little puppies. The Ganges there is really beautiful and clean water. The water was really cold. I couldn’t take my eyes off from them…

My whole Rishikesh trip was really awesome. At some point in life, people should visit this place at least once. Met many interesting people. Visited many places.
One thing i would recommend is that near Parmath there is a gem shop . I really loved their gems… Bought many of them during my visit…
