On our way to a holy city on a bumpy bus!

(From Dehratun to Rishikesh, India, 4th of Sep 2016)

The evening before we should take of we asked around on where the buses from Dehradun to Rishikesh would depart from and we got help from the hotel to book a rickshaw to take us there. Probably we paid way too much but the cost was not more than 20 Swedish kronor (2,2 Euros) so it was no big issue.

The road to the bus station was long and very bumpy, on some road sections all the cars and rickshaws had to drive slalom to even get around. Arriving at the station, we found, after a bit of help from the ticket office and a very friendly Indian girl, our bus stop.

When the bus finally arrived, it was important to use the Indian way of queuing, meaning no rules at all, to get a seat. We luckily got two seats in the back of the bus. It was a really old bus without any comfort so it was a 1.5 hours long and bumpy adventure.
