Rishikesh, India
Hi! I will be in Rishikesh at the beginning of November for a 7 day yoga retreat. I plan on exploring the area around Rishikesh after the retreat, which leaves me with 6 days with no official itinerary. Looking for any suggestions on places to go that is within a car ride. Anyone also has any insight on where and if I should purchase a pre-paid phone when I arrive in Delhi?

We really enjoyed Haridwar and found it to be a highly interesting place to visit. We got a car and driver and went into the mountains up to the Bimsar area.
Frankly, Rikikesh didn't do a lot for us. We did an afternoon rafting trip out of Rikikesh and weren't overwhelmed in comparison to other river trips we've taken. We also did an afternoon safari trip out of the national park whose name is escaping me right now that i located near Rikikesh.
