    Unforgettable Trip!

    Rene_R, Nov 2025
    Ajay was an outstanding tour guide and an exceptional driver — not a single honk the entire journey! As a female solo traveler, I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip. His deep knowledge of Rishikesh and Haridwar made the experience truly meaningful and spiritual. I highly recommend Ajay for an unforgettable, peaceful, and insightful journey!

    Great day out

    Picked up on time ,good communication beforehand. Long drive but my driver spoke excellent English and was able to help wile away the hours. Thankfully he didn't use the horn constantly like what seemed every other driver on the road .Richkesh was a comfortable stroll over 2 bridges. Foothills of the Himalayas look stunning. Guide explained all the required information in English. Haridwar was a Hindi ceremony on the holy Ganges river,which was a deeply spiritual moment for all the devotees.. An enjoyable day was had, thanks again!

    Had an amazing experience...

    Had an amazing experience and got more then I bargain for.My tour guide Ankit was very knowledgeable and I told him that I took the tour to further my knowledge in Hinduism and he gave me a first hand experience, helping me understand more about the culture and making me feel very welcome. My driver was also very nice and curtious and made additional stops for us to find really good Indian food.look forward to coming back.

    Worth the drive

    We had a lovely day - Jyoti our driver did a great job, both driving and showing us about Haridwar and getting good spot to watch the river ceremony, just a shame he did not speak more English as it would have been good to understand more about the river ceremony. Our Guide Ankit was very accomodating, backtracking when the need arose and also very interesting history and spiritual culture of Rishikesh. Great to see the source of the Ganges and home of the yoga practice and learnt heaps about the Hindu faith.

    Spiritual Experience

    Great place and great organisation. My excellent driver Pawan picked me up on time, drove very safely in spite of difficult situation with pilgrimage and lots of people walking on the highway... He spoke English well and explained a lot already on the way, and brought me water, chai, bananas all the time. In Rishikesh, enjoyed a very nice combined tour and yoga session with my local guide there. Highly recommended

    An Unforgettable Spiritual and Scenic Journey to Rishikesh and Haridwar

    ManuelFelix_V, May 2025
    My experience visiting Rishikesh and Haridwar was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and according to the plan. The driver arrived right on time, and the entire trip felt comfortable, safe, and very well organized. The natural beauty along the way was simply breathtaking — driving through the lush green hills, with views of the majestic Ganges River, created a serene and calming atmosphere. In Rishikesh, we had the pleasure of being guided by a young, knowledgeable, and passionate guide who shared fascinating insights into the city’s spiritual significance and landmarks. Walking along the Ghats and witnessing the power and purity of the Ganges flowing through the foothills of the Himalayas was a humbling and emotional experience. The Lakshman Jhula, the ashrams, and the spiritual energy of the place made it a very special stop on the tour. Haridwar was equally moving — witnessing the Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri was a highlight. The flickering lamps, chanting, and the devotion of the people around us created a deeply spiritual moment that I’ll never forget. I highly recommend this tour and would gladly repeat it with Har Har Mahadev. He is not only an experienced and reliable driver but also incredibly helpful and made every aspect of the trip easier for us. The tour ended on time, without any issues or delays. If you’re looking for a perfect combination of nature, culture, and spirituality, this tour is an absolute must.

    A true Indian experience!

    Jacqueline_H, Mar 2025
    This is hands down the best experience we have done since arriving in India! If you are looking for a truly Indian experience then this is the one for you! Everything about this day was perfect! We were picked up spot on time (5 minutes early) and driven by Ajay to Rishikesh where we met a local guide who knew everything about the area and all of the local customs. We were able to participate in a local Hindu ceremony and experience a little bit of village life. We were then taken to Haridwar where we had a lovely lunch and then seated by the Ganges river waiting on the fire ceremony to begin. Ajay made sure we had the best seats in the house and even doubled up as our bodyguard while there (not that we needed one 🤣). We had the choice of doing one of the main tourist attractions or going here and I am so glad we opted for this! This has been the only thing we have done in India where you really get to see the local culture and feel a part of it. We have come home to over 200 videos and pictures from just the one day. Ajays driving was second to none with not one single horn peep on the 9 hour round trip! Why should you chose this specific tour and not the other ones? Ajay sat and participated in the ceremony with us and said he still loved doing so even after having done it nearly 500 times over his 16 years of going! Do yourself a favour and go experience this! You really won’t regret it! Thank you Ajay for the amazing memories from today! It really did have the same ending as a Bollywood movie …… you have 2 very happy tourists! ❤️
