How to get into Town from the Bus Station
Getting off the bus to "Rishikesh " is actually Hardiwar, which is an Area not for tourist, army and police loaded with guns and poverty everywhere. Very sketchy feeling. Take a tuk tuk straight to Laxman Jula, because It's not Rishikesk you want to go, Rishikesk itself is not pretty or nice, it's laxman jula area which is around 5kms from Rishikesk market/ bus stand where all the hotels, cafes, restaurants, yoga meditation and ashrams are all based, also Ram Jula 2kms away has the same vibe.
