Varanasi to Haridwar Rishikesh by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Varanasi to Haridwar-Rishikesh tempo traveller journey connects the Ganga's spiritual bookends — from where the river completes its journey on the plains to where it exits the Himalayas. This epic 900 km drive crosses the entire Gangetic plain via Lucknow and Bareilly, with the landscape gradually shifting from lush paddy fields to the rocky Shivalik foothills. In Haridwar, Har Ki Pauri's evening Ganga Aarti mirrors Varanasi's Dashashwamedh experience but with a Himalayan backdrop. Rishikesh adds adventure — rafting on Grade III rapids, bungee jumping at Mohan Chatti, and yoga at Parmarth Niketan. Given the distance, most groups break the journey overnight at Lucknow or Bareilly. The tempo traveller's reclining seats make the long haul manageable.

In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Varanasi to Haridwar Rishikesh costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 900 km and about 14-16 hours (overnight recommended) 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.
