The 10 Best Cultural Tours in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

September 18, 2021 Leonardo Torrence

The holy city of Rishikesh, in the base of the Himalayas, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for local Hindus. Sacred rivers and mountains set the scene for yoga and reflective hikes, and rafting here is an absolute must. The Beatles got in touch with their Eastern spiritual side here, writing several songs during a 1968 stint at a local ashram.

I was lucky to be in New Delhi area and I suddenly was with the few guys exploring the old part of Delhi! What an amazing experience!! Anil is a very beautiful and kind being and he loves what he is doing, so the perfect guide for me! He walked us all around even in places you can only see with a local that know the area very well...The old market is a must see if you had some time to spend in Delhi. Nice local food too! I definitely recommend it. Thanks for making the day so beautiful!

We travelled in February 2020 just before the whole world went into corona lockdown. Our trip announced as multi adventure tour has fully fulfilled all the promises made upfront and much more. We took airplanes, buses, bikes, boats and also made a lot of walks - even this was a nice adventure. Specially at the three days biking through Rajasthans landscape we saw people living on the farms, working on their fields, a school from inside, marriages and much more. In the cities we saw many cultural highlights, all the colors of the markets and people and even had a lot of of fun with the nice group of people we travelled with. Sarah and her team from Chalo made these weeks to a wonderful experience - not only the tourists view was shown but also a view of the real life in India with all the nice things but not ignoring the problems and issues they have to deal with. It was our 2nd trip to India, and this trip was much better than the 1st one organized by another company (and we saw the tigers!). We would always book another trip with Sarah to experience new India adventures.
