Delhi to Rishikesh Destination Reviews

CD
The bus arrived two hours late. Also departure place was very difficult to figure out, definetely unclear. The journey itself was ok. I reccomend booking the semi-sleeper seat.

There was no clear information on the specific location for the bus pickup which caused me to miss the bus. I arrived an hour and a half early, thinking I was in the right place. I followed all directions and addresses provided in the PDF. I was told by another operator that I was not in the right location where boarding time arrived. The phone numbers provided in the PDF led to an automated service which did not help. There was no number to the bus operator and three numbers listed in the PDF are the same number for different locations. (again, automated) There is no info on the ticket or booking stating it is a private bus which is not affiliated with the chosen location selected by the passenger at the time of purchase. Fortunately, a few locals helped me out and we were able to communicate a better, in person option with a different company. I will be submitting for payment reimbursement.

At 1,5 hours from our destination, the gearbox was having problems and the bus had to stop on the side of a busy road until the problem was solved. Fortunately, it didn't take too long. When we arrived at Rishikesh, we were dropped off on the side of a highway which we had no other choice than crossing, having to climb over the crash barrier in the process. We then found out that we were still quite a way away from the Rishikesh bus station so that we had to take a tuktuk to there. The bus seats were cramped but that was the least of the problems.
