Dehradun to Rishikesh Haridwar by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Dehradun to Rishikesh and Haridwar tempo traveller route is a compact spiritual and adventure day trip connecting Uttarakhand's capital to two of India's most iconic riverside towns. From Dehradun, drive through the Rajaji Tiger Reserve corridor on NH7 — this stretch passes through dense sal forests where wild elephants, spotted deer, and langurs are frequently sighted. Reach Rishikesh (43 km) within 45 minutes and explore the iconic Laxman Jhula suspension bridge, the Beatles Ashram (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's former retreat), and the bustling cafes of Tapovan offering organic Israeli and Italian food. Groups seeking thrills can arrange white-water rafting on the 16 km Shivpuri-to-Rishikesh stretch with Grade III-IV rapids. Continue 25 km further to Haridwar, where the evening Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri is one of India's most mesmerising rituals — thousands of oil lamps floating on the Ganges as hymns echo off the ancient ghats. Between the two cities, savour the famous chole bhature at Hoshiyarpuri near Haridwar railway station.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Dehradun to Rishikesh Haridwar costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 70 km and about 2-2.5 hours of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
