ON FOOT · RISHIKESH HIKING TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 rishikesh hiking tours earn the slot, priced and timed so you can decide over breakfast and still make the trailhead.
You’ll trek from Sankri through Osla and Kalkatidhar to Har Ki Dun at 3,510 meters, with a guided side trip to Marinda Tal. Himalaya Shelter supplies tents, sleeping gear, cooks, meals, forest fees, and Dehradun transport. Guides such as Sonu, Surendra Rana, and Rocky Rana have led recent departures.
Meet your trek instructor at 4 Mall Road in Mussoorie for a roughly four-hour uphill hike to Top Tibba, one of the highest points near town at 8,500 feet. Expect forest paths, broad views, wildlife possibilities, and stops for rest and scenery. Rohit may help arrange a ride, but transport is not included.
“Enjoyed the hike with Rohit. He is knowledgeable about the area, fauna, fowl, and trekking practices and safety. He was well prepared for our trip and took our capabilities and experience as avid hikers into account for our trek. He helped arrange a ride and we even paid a little extra for the driver to help us explore town after the hike. Great experience”
Meet your local guide at Seegreen Cafe in Hathipaon for a roughly 4 km guided walk through the George Everest estate. You will pass George Everest House, climb toward the peak, and look across the hills toward Mussoorie. Guides such as Rohit and Yash add local stories, plant and wildlife knowledge, and useful photo help.
“Rohit was my guide and I can’t recommend him enough. Very willing to share his considerable knowledge of plants, wildlife, geography, history, trekking. He’s a super nice guy, very considerate, professional, helpful. It was wonderful to get away from the city and enjoy such a beautiful part of India. I highly recommend this tour and Rohit as your guide.”
Spend four days in the Himalayan foothills with a private guide, round-trip transport from Rishikesh, and meals included. Walk through Sari village to Deoria Tal, stay in family homestays and a campground, then rise at 4 a.m. for the sunrise at Tungnath and Chandrashila. Guide Ankush is praised for his good humor and local knowledge.
“A great few days exploring the Himalayas. Absolutely stunning scenery and lovely trekking. I would highly recommend Mapping the Himalayas as a tour company. My guide Ankush was great - very fun and knowledgeable. The homestays were great and full of warm and friendly people.”
