My guide was very helpful. He gave me a lot of information and took good care of me. He spoke good English and I learned much!

We booked this trip through Getyourguide, but it was provided in country by Amusing Destinations. The initial interaction I had with the Service Provider was very positive as they kindly agreed to pick us up from our hotel, which was located across the river from Rishikesh main town to save us walking around. The problems started when I was contacted by the guide Bhupinder the evening before our trip. He firstly insisted we changed the pick-up time from 0700 to 0600 "to avoid the heat' strange, I thought, given we were going to be out for 10 hours. Then, once he knew where our hotel was located, he tried to get us to meet him over the river in Rishikesh, which I refused given the Service Provider had agreed to pick us up from the hotel. The following morning, I received WhatsApp messages from Bhupinder at 0530 asking if we were ready yet, to which I replied we would be ready at 0600 as agreed. On pick-up there seemed to be an element of frustration on the half of both the guide and the driver. There were no introductions or chat about what our trip would entail, the usual things you would expect. Then, for the next 30 mins, we were subjected to aggressive, high-speed driving on narrow, twisty mountain roads, which nearly resulted in several head-on collisions, only avoided by last-minute breaking. On stopping for a cup of tea at a roadside cafe, I reprimanded the guide and told him in no uncertain terms to make the driver slow down telling him that the driving was not only making us feel sick but scaring us. To be fair the rest of the journey to Devprayag was a bit more sedate. On arrival in Devprayag, Bhupinder took us to the confluence of the rivers, which was stunning and to a small temple there. This was followed by a lovely breakfast in a roadside cafe. In total, we spent about an hour in Devprayag. Following breakfast, we got back in the xar and headed back in the direction of Rishikesh, with us assuming we were going to visit both the cave and waterfalls - not to be!! The drive back was again unpleasant, and while no near misses with oncoming traffic, the driver reverted to type, speeding again and overtaking traffic on blind bends, etc. As we neared our hotel, I asked Bhupinder if we were returning to our hotel, to which he relied yes. We asked to be dropped off near the old Lakhsman Jhula Bridge. On getting out of the car, I showed Bhupinder the online itinerary for the trip and asked why we were not visiting either the cave or the waterfall to which he looked confused as if he didn't know it was part of the trip. We just walked off, leaving the pair of them standing there, no doubt expecting a tip. I emailed the Service Provider to tell them what had happened, expressing my disappointment. They eventually replied after speaking to the guide and driver who denied driving unsafely as expected, but more annoying was that the guide told his boss that they had offered to take us to the cave and waterfall which we declined. The Service Provider didn't apologise. he just asked me not to leave a bad review as it wasn't deserved. Sorry, I disagree. I have since reported the issues to Getyourguide who are dealing with it. So, Devprayag is definitely worth a visit. It is beautiful, but be careful when choosing the trip provider and ensure you visit all the locations on the itinerary. I certainly wouldn't recommend Amusing Destinations.

The tour was very good. Gained useful insight in to Devpragyag, provided my guide Harsh. Good communication by tour company. Overall very happy with service.

This tour was absolutely amazing! The view was breathtaking and our tour guide Bhupinder was very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour! :)

Great Experience, lots of great places to see and visit, great weather, amazing food, nature at its best, gives you a realisation of a life beyond work.

Everything was excellent and the guide shelesh was professional and friendly. We enjoyed the trek and captured the memory for the life time.

It was quite a short trip but basically all I need for the day. Very convenient in terms of transportation because I don't need to wait for a ride in the middle of scorching hot Delhi. The guide named Sachin was really helpful, he even offered to give my fussy 6-year-old a piggyback ride!

The short summary is - I recommend this excursion. The sunrise from the Kunjapuri Temple was beautiful and the trek down was really enjoyable. Selesh (I hope I spelled that correctly) was a great guide and we really enjoyed our time with him. We had a great, easy conversation as we hiked down the hillside. Things to know: In looking at the various excursions, it can get very confusing which excursions offers what, what they don’t offer, what are the differences, etc.. So hopefully this helps: You will be picked up at (or near) your hotel and driven to the Kunjapuri Temple. The drive is about 30-45 minutes. After watching the sunrise, you’ll grab a quick breakfast from a vendor near the temple. You’ll then hike down the mountain for about 2 - 2 1/2 hrs into Tapovan. We stopped by the Secret Waterfall (not so secret) and then went to a nearby watering hole. We soaked there for a bit and then finished the trek. In our case, the path went right by our hotel, so we finished at that point. If you don’t happen to be staying near the end point, you’ll be offered a ride back to your hotel. A couple of notes, this is not a private trip, so unless you have a large group, you may have a few others with you. In my case, it was my partner and myself, and one solo traveler from Germany. The path down isn’t difficult, but you really need some experience hiking in the wilderness. In spots the trail can be steep and covered with lose rocks (scree). That said, you don’t need trek poles and can easy just walk down. The reason I mention this is that your group’s speed will be gated by the slowest hiker. If you’re someone who likes to hike quickly and cover lots of ground, you may have to adjust your expectations if one of the other party members isn’t a fast hiker. All that said, we really enjoyed our trip and I have no reservations in recommending this trip.

we went to neelkanth mahadev from rishikesh , it took around 1.5 hours by taxi . you can hire shared taxi for 8 people which is cheap . the temple is on a hill . long ques are expected on week ends . there are a lot shops for prasads who also take care of your foot wear . in peak season the taxi drop you about 1 km away from the shrine .although I saw some shared taxis near to the shrine . may be there are some way to bend the rules . the darshan was devine and that is what important . jai mahadev

Shelesh and driver were right on time for our pickup 5am from Rishikesh. We enjoyed masala chai around 6 then walked the last steps to the top to watch. The Himalayas were visible in the distance. The sunrise was beautiful and a must see. After sunrise we gave offerings in the temple and tied a scarf piece for good luck outside. Then we walked back to chai place and had breakfast. After breakfast we began our trek all downhill to Tapovan. It was a great adventure and Shelesh was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who asked us questions too and has very good English! We enjoyed the trek and suggest wearing hiking boots or trainers with good traction for this expedition. We highly recommend this guide, company and particular tour.

This was an amazing trek with Amusing destination team. I would like to prefer this trek to all trekkers. Amazing sunrise view from Kunjapuri temple. For me this was an unforgettable experience.

RAJAJI NATONAL PARK IS A SCAM! Satendra Saini who you talk with is also a scammer/cheater. We came all the way from Denmark and took the Safari tour, and we saw nothing and they dont inform you about anything. There is no guarantee and the have no animals in the park, basically 5 Tigers who hide away in the winter. All you see is trees. STAY AWAY! Find something else. They dont give you any money back even though alot of people have seen nothing there.

朝ホテルでピックアップ→クンジャプリの寺院まで車→帰りは山を徒歩で降りてくるトレッキングコースになります。 日の出前のお寺はとても寒いので、防寒対策をしっかりとしてください。朝日はとても綺麗で大感動でした！ 帰り道は石がゴロゴロしている結構急な道なき道を通りますので、あればトレッキングシューズがおすすめです！(私はスニーカーでなんとか頑張りました！)リシケシでのドキドキワイルドな体験でとても楽しかったです！ ガイドのShelesh さんは時間を守る、大変礼儀正しく丁寧で、英語もわかりやすくて、日本の方にも安心しておすすめできます。私は山に慣れてないのですが私のペースを見ながら、無理のないように気を配ってくれました。またリシケシに来ることがあれば是非お願いしたいと思います。 ありがとうございました！ Pick up at hotel in the morning → Drive to Kunjapuri temple → Return will be a trekking course where you will walk down the mountain. It is very cold at the temple before sunrise, so please take a warm jacket. The sunrise was so beautiful and it was worth the wait. On the way back, you'll pass through a fairly steep road, I recommend wearing trekking shoes. It was a new experience for me and had a lot of fun! My guide Shelesh, was very punctual, polite and professional with extensive knowledge and nice conversation. I'm not used to mountains, but he kept an eye on my pace and made sure I was ok. Thank you very much!

It was a great cultural/religious tour of the city. Everything was great, lots of information and amazing spots to be visited. I recommend this tour. They even pick us up and drop off at the hotel.

The pickup from the hotel was on time. Our guide vipender and shailesh handled the trek smoothly and took care of us. We started at 5:30 am and came back by 11/11:30 am. Loved the experience.
