Overnight bus, then Laxman Jhula
Bus from Kashmere Gate, in by 6am. Dropped the bag and walked the bridges before the crowds.
Worth knowingThe 6am arrival is the best hour of the whole trip. Do not sleep it off.

Afternoon bus, Delhi by night.
Things I would tell a friend
- Rishikesh is dry. Do not plan an evening around finding a drink.
- Rafting is cheapest booked at the ghat that morning, not online.
