Om Prakash was very responsive to calls & queries we had prior to trek. He designed a wonderful and adventurous day, despite pandemic restrictions. He was very punctual and reliable and the itinerary matched the description. We did a sunrise temple viewing followed by a trek (including waterfall) and a lunch, passing through a local village, too. Om Prakash has extensive knowledge about birds, plants, flowers, hinduism and ayurveda and shares interesting information along the trek. The lunch cooked by his wife was delicious, followed the ayurvedic practice and was totally organic and locally sourced. Thank you Om Prakash for this wonderful day!

Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with Mr. Om Prakash as your guide. It's wonderful to hear that he was responsive and attentive to your calls and queries prior to the trek, ensuring a smooth and well-planned adventure despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.
Mr. Om Prakash's punctuality and reliability are commendable qualities in a guide, and it's great to know that he lived up to those expectations. The fact that the itinerary matched the description demonstrates his attention to detail and commitment to providing a fulfilling experience.
The sunrise temple viewing, trek to the waterfall, and visit to the local village sound like an adventurous and enriching day. Mr. Om Prakash's extensive knowledge about birds, plants, flowers, Hinduism, and Ayurveda added a fascinating educational aspect to the trek, allowing you to appreciate the natural and cultural aspects of the region even more.
The delicious lunch prepared by Mr. Om Prakash's wife, following Ayurvedic principles and sourcing organic and local ingredients, showcases their commitment to providing a healthy and authentic dining experience. It's wonderful to hear that they prioritize sustainable and mindful practices.

Rishikesh Day Tour is owned and operated by a very spiritual gentleman named Om. My husband and I were staying in Rishikesh, and with limited time there remaining, it was decided to try and plan a visit further north to specifically experience Babaji’s cave. This is located in a remote region of the Himalayas, and we did not know if it was possible.
We found Om’s business listing and WhatsApp messaged him very late. Om responded early in the morning to our short timing and desire to depart the next day if possible. He made all arrangements within an hour, then invited us to his home to discuss the tour, location, clothing requirements, and the significance of other spiritual sites that he had included for us within the tour. Om’s wife brought us chai and treats to be enjoyed whilst we listened to him.
Om stressed that he had selected a good driver and comfortable car. That he did and we both felt very safe with our driver Vijay. I recommend at this point to read through the itinerary as a lot was included, and beyond this the journey to the destination was visually fascinating taking in Himalayan villages and Srinagar which is a bigger city in northern Uttarakhand.
The guest house was great with a clean room & bathroom, and all meals were served to our room. As it was winter, and cold outside at night, it was good to remain inside a heated room. The guest house had a large meditation room, well suited to Kriya Yoga but open to everyone. The guest house staff were super friendly and we could see a longer stay might be enjoyed in the future.
Om arranged a local guide on the 2nd day that lead us on the upright mountain trail to Babaji’s Cave; he insisted on carrying our heavier backpack and remaining with us, including the several hours we stayed inside the cave. It’s a reasonable, but not overwhelming climb, with seated rest spots taking in beautiful views. The vibration in this cave, and the next days Vashistha Cave are valuable for those seeking to build a more meaningful spiritual practice. We also visited several other significant temple sites on the way north and heading south to return. Hence within a condensed time frame this 2N / 3D tour left a very real impression on us and is a real highlight is of our journey to Uttarakhand.
This tour is suited to those who you enjoy quieter regions, panoramic vistas, and subtle energies.
Thank you Om 🙏

Excellent tour option in Rishikesh/Dehradun region. Mr Om is an official tour guide in this area. You can’t find anyone who knows the area (the town, spiritual history, every mountain trail and path) better than him. He and his wife are the owners of this homestay and will tailor your experience to whatever you like. The family lives in a beautiful house in a tranquil upper street of Rishikesh with the view of the mountains, just above the hustle and bustle of the low streets of the town. Since the family lived there for many years they know every neighbor and it’s so special to see people chatting outside their homes in the evenings. The town of Rishikesh is famous for it’s spiritual history, for the Ganges river that runs through it, for the ashram where The Beatles stayed while seeking spiritual awareness, and of course for the start of numerous roads and trails into the mountains.
This is a 100% safe place for a solo female traveler (I am a 54 year old woman traveling alone). Mr Om takes care of safety during all aspects of travel not just on the tour itself. I came by plane and stayed the first night at the hotel in Dehradun. Mr Om arranged a taxi to pick me up from the airport to my hotel. He was monitoring taxi’s progress and was in constant contact with the driver while in route to make sure I got to my destination safely. The same was true on my return. The next morning Mr Om picked me up from my hotel and I settled into his lovely house meeting his wonderful wife and their two teenage children. That day I got a tour of the town and a hike to a waterfall. The next day we left at 4AM by car up the mountains to reach the top in time to witness sunrise above clouds. Then we hiked down on foot through most picturesque setting and small villages where Mr Om seems to know everyone.
In summary, if you are looking for mountain trekking/hiking or for a tour of spiritual places or a combination of the two or for just an overview of the area, whatever your needs are Mr Om and his wife will make sure to adjust the itinerary to your wishes. Should you choose to stay with them or in any other hotel still there are no better guides in my opinion. I loved staying with them and would recommend it wholeheartedly. Speaking from a solo female traveling experience this is the totally safe way to experience this region but I would also recommend it for couples and families alike. I had marvelous time thank you so much Mr. Om and family, I miss you!

We had an awesome experience of the Sri Kunjapuri Temple Sunrise view in Rishikesh. The driver was punctual and humble and we drove away in the early morning and reached at the time of sunrise there. Fortunately, the sky was clear, thus we enjoyed the stunning sunrise view over the peaks of the great Himalayas. Then we start downhill trekking up to Tapovan Rishikesh. We enjoyed the waterfall and the scenic jungle trail.

We had a great trip with Om through the Himalayas! He is a very nice, chattable guy with a big Knowledge on Hinduismus and India - we learned a lot during our walk through the beautiful countryside. We also had tea at a local farm. If you want to enjoy some peace and silence and learn about Indian Culture, we recommend hiking with Om 👍😀

As a solo female traveller and someone who had never visited India before this trip nor travelled much on my own, I highly recommend booking with Rishikesh Day Tours. Everything was seamless: from the planning stage, to being picked up from my hotel and dropped off, and the tours themselves.
My guide Mir Om was extremely knowledgeable and I enjoyed our thoughtful conversations. I felt very safe and comfortable being guided by him through Rishikesh and Haridwar. I had some really special moments these past few days and wouldn’t hesitate booking with Rishikesh Day Tours again. Thank you!

Trustworthy, loving, family-run travel company that made my stay in Rishikesh one to remember. My partner and I traveled from the United States to visit India, and our itinerary included four days in Rishikesh. We did the Kunjapuri Trek with travel guide Tushita which involved an early morning drive to watch the sunrise at the temple followed by a downhill trek (a hike that had certain challenging aspects and required good physical health.) This trek included a tea break with a family in a secluded village as well as a stop at a waterfall to cool off and concluded with a tasty luncheon at a Rishikesh family home. An amazing experience.
The following day, my partner and I embarked on the Neelkanth Temple Trek with Mr. Om, the head of this travel agency, and also required an early morning departure. This trek was steep and also required good physical health to complete however was equally special. This trek occurs throughout the Rajaji National Forest and so you will likely see Baboons, parakeets, peacocks (and even a large animal if you are lucky!)
Both experiences included deep learning about Hinduism and a special way of life. Thank you to Rishikesh Day Tour for making my stay in Rishikesh truly spectacular.

Thank to the Rishikesh day tour team, excellent arrangement, like a mother brings a child to school, its first time visiting Mahavatar Babaji Cave. From Dahil to Kathgodam till I return to Delhi. Every arrangement in Himalayan woods was nice and smooth and special thanks to Ankit, while taking care in the Delhi train station. Keep up the good service guy! See you soon

We made a tour of Rajasthan from 5 to 20 March with arrival and departure from Delhi; we were welcomed at the airport and accompanied to the hotel by a Rishikesh Day Tour representative who provided us with Indian SIM cards to be able to communicate and was available by telephone (via WhatsApp) for all the following days.
The stages of the journey were:
- [ ] Delhi, Mandawa, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Manawata, Jodhpur, Ghanerao, Udaipur, Pushkar, Jaipur, Agra, Delhi
Rishikesh Day Tour customized the itinerary according to our needs flawlessly; at each stage we had the support of a local guide and the hotels we stayed in all lived up to our expectations (including all excursions).
For such a tour you need the support of a driver who can make a difference for better or worse;
Monu Yadav, our driver, proved to be professional, always careful to drive carefully and also pleasant, smiling and friendly and made our experience in Rajasthan truly unique.
We spent 15 days with Monu and we always appreciated his efficiency, the extreme cleanliness of the car and his perfect knowledge of the area.
Thanks to his advice we were able to visit places outside the traditional tourist circuits while traveling.
In summary we recommend Rishikesh Day Tour and if you are lucky also Monu as your driver.
