Map of Rishikesh
All maps of Rishikesh that I have found have little information on the road on the far side of the river. I have walked the area between the two suspension bridges and have often wandered how much further on the road goes on.
The best information so far recieved is.... Route 2 Tapovan/Laxman Jhula route From Rishikesh following the Ganges, the last urban area is Tapovan, and there is a road signposted “Laxman Jhula” which winds down a hill and across a suspension bridge too narrow for cars but okay for motorcycles and cyclists (although crowded). Across the bridge, at the little roundabout, turn left. The road is excellent and there is very little traffic, very soon there is a junction with a road coming in from the right. Keep following the river; continue about 4 kms on a gentl e road to Gadur Chatti, a little village with a waterfall about 0.5 kms well worth checking out. You can get a simple meal here and cappuccino/espresso from at least one of the stands. Gadur Chatti is as I got but I heard if you carry on there is another waterfall about 1 km further, and then after another 8 kms a very nice lake where you can swim up to a beautiful waterfall called Nishu Kunti. The road may continue on further. Have any IM's explored this area or have a map of it? I have found link to satellite map of area but cannot pinpoint roads. http://perljam.net/google-satellite-...y_of_Rishikesh |
