Our driver got us here that's the best thing to say. The communication beforehand was poor. I had tried to confirm our destination hotel as it was beyond Rishikesh itself. We had to chase the company to find out what was happening and they were responsive when we did. Our driver made contact the morning of the trip but said he didn't speak English. When he arrived the car was small so our suitcases were hoisted onto the roof and off we went. The driver was a true taxi driver and negotiated the traffic fearlessly it seemed but it was a bit scary at times. He stopped for us to have a second breakfast after about two hours out of 5.5 but didn't stop again. As he drove us through Rishikesh he said he needed an extra 500 IRs for tolls. We didn't really mind but I'd rather have sorted all that out before we left. So, 3 stars for getting us here but it wasn't a great experience.
