Breakfast - book more train tickets - bus!
The bus station was opposite the train station and really close to where we were staying, so not far to walk. It was about an hour journey to Rishikesh and the road condition was fairly good. We saw the Haridwar cable car and ghats from the window but that was about it. We both fell asleep! The bus driver must have driven carefully and relatively slowly.
Next we caught an auto rickshaw from the bus stop to Rishikesh. We searched for our booked hotel and eventually found it. We dropped off our bags before going exploring! A few streets meandered down to the first spectacular suspension bridge. There were monkeys playing on the bridge, whitewater rafts enjoying the river below and beautiful scenery everywhere. It was an incredible view!
Lots of Ashrams, yoga retreats and meditation centres lined the streets, dotted with restaurants and multicoloured baggy trouser shops. There are lots of tourists here enjoying what Rishikesh has to offer and it appears to have a lot from adventure sport to relaxation classes.
There is some very nice music and singing coming from a restaurant very close to our room. How very lovely!
