This 8-hour trekking tour leaves Rishikesh before dawn to watch the sunrise at Kunjapuri Temple on a Himalayan hilltop. At the temple dedicated to the goddess Shakti, you join traditional rituals and prayers led by a local priest, along with a yoga session of meditation and pranayama. You then walk through oak and pine forests and local villages to Neer Waterfall, experiencing Garhwal culture up close. Temple entry, Neer Waterfall tickets and accommodation pickup are included, and the tour runs in small groups of up to 5 people.
After pickup from your accommodation around Tapovan, Rishikesh, at about 5:15 AM, drive for about 1 hour along winding mountain roads to Kunjapuri Temple. Dedicated to the goddess Shakti, this sacred site is said to be one of the 52 Shakti Peethas of Hindu mythology.
Spend about 1 hour at the temple waiting for the sunrise and taking photos. On a clear day, snow-capped Himalayan peaks such as Swargarohini, Bandarpunch and Gangotri and the Doon Valley below spread out before you.
Amid temple bells and the scent of incense, join traditional rituals and prayers led by a local priest. Take part in a yoga session of meditation and pranayama, and enjoy morning tea and breakfast. If you are lucky, you may spot Hanuman langurs, named after the god Hanuman.
For about 3 hours, walk with your guide through forests of oak, pine and rhododendron and past local villages to experience Garhwal culture. At Neer Waterfall, rest and take photos for about 1.5 hours, and you can swim in the natural pool formed by the falls. Then walk about 1 hour to finish the tour in Tapovan.
