Delhi to Rishikesh: Your Perfect Group Road Trip

The famous city of Rishikesh is said to be the Yoga Capital of the World. It is also a very calm place and an ideal break away from the busy lifestyle of Delhi. The city lies at the beginning of the Himalayas, close to the holy Ganga River.

The best and most comfortable way for groups, like families, friends or office teams, to go to Rishikesh is by hiring a Tempo Traveller. You do not need to worry about the timing of the bus or taking many vechile for a big group. A Tempo Traveller can give you your private vehicle in which everybody can sit together, relax, and enjoy the road trip without any stress.

The Trip in a Nutshell

Distance: Approximately 240 - 265 km

Travel Time: 5 to 7 hours (Varies based on traffic, road conditions, and the number of breaks you take).

Best Route (Recommended): The most well-traveled and quickest route is by NH 334, which passes through the cities of Ghaziabad, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, and Haridwar. Generally speaking, the road is in excellent condition, particularly the section on the Meerut Expressway.

Why Choose a Tempo Traveller for Your Group?

Hiring a Urbania tempo traveller will have distinct advantages over other choices that make it preferred for group travel.

Ultimate Comfort: These vehicles are specifically designed for long-distance travel, featuring spacious, pushback seats with ample legroom and often an excellent AC system. Luxury variants, sometimes called 'Maharaja Tempo Travellers,' may even offer 1x1 seating.

Flexibility & Privacy: It's your vacation. You decide on the schedule. Stop whenever you want for chai, a quick snack on the way at a famous dhaba, or for that photo opportunity. Enjoy the journey privately with your group.

Cost-effective for Groups: When the cost is shared among the passengers, the Tempo Travellers come in 9, 12, 16, and 20-seaters. It tends to work out much cheaper than buying multiple tickets for a train or bus.

Luggage Space: Since there is a separate compartment for luggage, you won't have to cram your bags under your seat and thus ensure a clutter-free and comfortable cabin.

Pit Stops and Travel Tips

Start Early: Leave Delhi well before sunrise, say by 5:00 AM so that you beat the traffic and make it to Rishikesh by noon or early afternoon, leaving you time for the evening Ganga Aarti.

Famous Dhabas: Keep an eye out for excellent restaurants serving famed parathas around Murthal, which is just outside of Delhi, or for a traditional North Indian lunch close to Muzaffarnagar.

Tolls: There are several toll plazas along NH 334, so keep some change or a working FASTag ready for a smooth ride.
