- If your flight arrives at Jolly Grant Airport and you are heading to Rishikesh, book a direct airport-to-Rishikesh taxi (₹2,000) — it is only 21 km and takes 35–45 minutes.
- For river rafting, the main launch point is Shivpuri — 16 km upstream from Rishikesh. Ask your driver to take you directly to Shivpuri Beach for the 16 km rafting stretch.
- Rishikesh is split into two areas — downtown (Rishikesh ISBT, Haridwar Road) and the ashram area (Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula). Confirm your exact destination before booking.
- Parking near Laxman Jhula is restricted. Our drivers know all designated taxi waiting areas for return pickups near the ghats.
- ATMs are sparse right around Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula themselves — withdraw cash in downtown Rishikesh or Dehradun before heading to the ashram area.
- This is a short plains route with reliable mobile coverage throughout. The one seasonal factor: during monsoon, high river flow can pause rafting for safety — check with your driver before planning a rafting day.
Sedan vs SUV — Which to Choose?
For the Dehradun–Rishikesh route, a Sedan (Swift Dzire) is the most practical and economical choice. The 50 km mostly-flat highway drive does not require an SUV. If you are travelling with 5–6 passengers or with large adventure sports gear, an Ertiga MPV is recommended.
