Pickup Points in Rishikesh
We pick up from hotels, ashrams and camps across Rishikesh, from the railway station and from the bus stand. Some lanes around Laxman Jhula and Tapovan are too narrow for a car, so we will meet you at the nearest point the car can reach.
Send a location pin on WhatsApp and the driver will find you.
