Book Your Lucknow to Rishikesh Tempo Traveller on Rent

Rishikesh is around 520 km from Lucknow via Bareilly and Haridwar. It is a long day on the highway, so most of our groups leave early in the morning, reach by evening and start sightseeing the next day.

The town works for very different kinds of trips: the evening Ganga aarti at Triveni Ghat, the temples and ashrams around Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula, the Neelkanth Mahadev climb, and the rafting stretch between Shivpuri and NIM Beach. Two nights gives you time for all of it.

Our 13, 17 and 26-seater tempo travellers, Force Urbania, Tata Winger and mini bus are air-conditioned and serviced before departure. Drivers on this route know the Haridwar bypass, the one-way rules around Laxman Jhula and where large vehicles are allowed to stop.

What Our Travellers Say

A few words from families and groups who travelled with Parijat Tour and Travels.

Twelve of us went for rafting and the Ganga aarti. The driver dropped us at the rafting point, waited, and then took us to Triveni Ghat in the evening. Perfectly planned.

Lucknow to Rishikesh Tempo Traveller FAQs

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about this route.

How far is Rishikesh from Lucknow and how long does it take?

How many days do I need for Rishikesh?

Two nights and three days is a good balance: one day of travel each way and a full day for the ghats, Laxman Jhula, Neelkanth Mahadev and rafting. A single night leaves you rushed.
When is the rafting season in Rishikesh?

Rafting usually runs from September to November and February to May, and pauses during the monsoon when the river is high. Confirm current conditions a few days before you travel.
