Start with a private pickup from your hotel in Rishikesh and meet your expert trekking guide. Enjoy a scenic 1-hour drive (32 km) through winding mountain roads to Kunjapuri Temple, a revered Shakti Peeth located at 1,676 meters (5,500 ft). From the parking area, climb around 300 stone steps to reach the hilltop temple. At the summit, take in panoramic views of the Garhwal Himalayas, including peaks like Swargarohini, Bandarpunch, Gangotri, and Chaukhamba, and witness a breathtaking Himalayan sunrise. After sunrise, visit the temple to seek blessings from the presiding goddess and view the sacred Pindi, learning about the site’s spiritual significance. Begin a guided downhill trek toward Neer Waterfalls, passing through forests, mountain trails, and the quiet villages of Dharkot and Barkot, where you’ll observe traditional Himalayan life. As you near Neer Waterfalls, the trail becomes slightly adventurous. Relax by the cascading falls and enjoy the cool mountain water (weather permitting). Continue 1 km downhill along the valley stream to the roadside, where your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to Rishikesh.
