“A trip of a lifetime❤️!! This was my first group trip and road trip to Spiti valley which was excellent. All strangers become close friends by the end of the trip and all of us feel like going on another trip with the same group. The stay was very comfortable and clean, beautiful peaceful locations with perfect mountains and sunrise view. All the sight seeing and activities like trekking, hiking were really good. Special thanks to Captain Divya❤️. She gave her best efforts in the entire journey to make it more enjoyable and memorable. We really had a good time with you. Such a kind and humble captain we had with Great responsibility. The best captain I can say. Overall I would say I would come again on another trip with Justwravel. Thankyou to the entire team specially Divya and Nishant. Thanks for lots of good memories @justwravel.”

“I recently went to Winter Spiti Valley trip with JustWravel which ended up being more as a trip with best friends. JustWravel had everything sorted for us be it transportation, safety, constant checkups, personalised care , accommodation, food and everything was super comfortable and amazing. Then it comes to the best part of this trip our trip captains - Abhishek and Ramneek He treated us like their own brother from day one and made sure all of us are having the time of our lives. They had constant checkups to ensure all of us are doing great physically. They had good knowledge about the place and shared the same with us as well. I would surely plan my next trip with JustWravel. I would like to mention an instance: I forgot my bag in the Volvo bus and there was nothing important in that bag but our captains still went out of their way to ensure that I got my bag safely.”

“Thank you JustWravel for giving me one of my best �first group-trip� experience - All-Girls Spiti Valley trip! I was a bit nervous before the trip began, but within no time, I realised that this was the best decision I took for myself. Saurav was a really friendly and easy-going trip leader and Mani Bhai was the sweetest local guide ever, who drove us around and also developed such a lovely bond with us. Both of them took great care of the group. Felt like family! ?? Lovely stay and food arrangements - never faced an issue even once. Most memorable trip! Thankyou!”

Overview


Uttarakhand is one of those rare places where every turn offers something different—snow-covered peaks, dense forests, spiritual towns, and quiet villages. The Uttarakhand Explorer Edition is built to give you a taste of all of it in one seamless journey. This 10 days-night itinerary covers Chopta, Binsar, Jim Corbett, Rishikesh, and Dehradun—each destination offering a distinct vibe. The trip starts in Rishikesh, which is well-connected by road and rail, making it easy to reach from Delhi and other major cities. From there, the route takes you through alpine meadows, wildlife sanctuaries, riverside towns, and forest trails. It’s a mix of adventure, culture, and nature—ideal for travelers who want to see more than just one side of Uttarakhand.


Doing these places together makes sense. Chopta is known for its rustic charm and proximity to Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world. Binsar, nestled inside a wildlife sanctuary, offers quiet sunsets and panoramic views from Zero Point. Jim Corbett brings in the thrill of spotting tigers and elephants on a morning safari, while Rishikesh adds rafting, local exploration, and spiritual energy. Dehradun wraps it up with hidden gems like Robber’s Cave. Whether you’re hiking to Chandrashila Peak, sipping Buransh juice in the cold, or celebrating New Year’s Eve under the stars, this trip is designed to keep things fresh and balanced. It’s not just about ticking off destinations—it’s about experiencing Uttarakhand in full.


Traveling with JustWravel means you get the best of Uttarakhand without the planning stress. Whether you’re a solo traveler or joining with friends, our backpacking-style trips are built for connection and ease. You’ll stay in top-notch accommodations, travel in comfortable vehicles, and be guided by an experienced Trip Captain who knows the region inside out. We include local immersive activities, adventure sports, and community bonding sessions to make the journey more engaging. There’s medical backup throughout, and the group dynamic ensures you’re never really traveling alone—even if you came solo.

FAQs

Why is Binsar a part of this Uttarakhand explorer edition itinerary?

Binsar is known for its lush green forests, the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, and the famous Binsar Zero point offers a stunning 360º view of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Because of its offbeat nature, it also provides peace and serenity to travelers.

During the winter season, it gets its fair share of snowshowers, making it an ideal time to visit Binsar which is why we've added it to our itinerary. 

Where can we expect snowfall during the Uttarakhand explorer edition trip?

Since the Uttarakhand explorer edition trip is curated around the Christmas and New year holidays, which is the peak winter season, you’ll find snow almost everywhere except for Rishikesh which is situated at a lower altitude in comparison to other destinations such as Auli.

Auli receives the best snowfall in the months of December and January which is why it is perfect to indulge in activities like skiing, snowboarding, and more. Binsar also receives its fair share of snow showers and so does Joshimath. 


How will the weather be in Uttarakhand in winters?

The weather will be cold and it’s highly advisable to wear thermals & proper winter clothing. The average temperature in December and January ranges between 6 degrees Celcius and 21 degrees Celcius. The days are short and chilly, with most of the regions covered in snow. 

What is the best time for Skiing in Auli?

Although skiing is subjected to snowfall and weather conditions in Auli, still the duration between late November to mid-March is perfect for skiing in Auli. 

What other adventure activities can one try in Rishikesh apart from rafting?

Rishikesh is widely known for its thrilling whitewater rafting experiences. However, it offers other adventure activities as well. One can enjoy rock climbing, cliff jumping, kayaking, bungee jumping, and flying fox.

What is the best time to visit Uttarakhand?

Although Uttarakhand maintains pleasant weather throughout the year, March to April & September to October are considered to be the best time to visit Uttarakhand. 

What is the best time for River Rafting in Rishikesh?

The best season for River Rafting is from September to mid-April. One should avoid the temperature of May and June as it becomes quite unnatural to regain the same essence.

Yes, Kids below 14 years are not allowed to do river rafting in Rishikesh.

Places to Visit in Rishikesh


Rishikesh is a town that blends spirituality, nature, and adventure in a way few places can. Whether you're starting your Rishikesh to Auli journey or winding down after exploring Auli to Chopta, this town offers plenty to explore. Begin with Triveni Ghat, where the Ganga Aarti at sunset is a must-see. The rhythmic chants, floating diyas, and spiritual energy make it a grounding experience before heading into the mountains. Cross the iconic Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula, suspension bridges that connect the town’s spiritual and commercial sides. On the other side, you’ll find bustling cafes, yoga centers, and local markets. Parmarth Niketan Ashram is a peaceful retreat offering yoga classes and spiritual discourses. If you're into nature, Neer Garh Waterfall is a short trek away and perfect for a refreshing dip.


For panoramic views, head to Kunjapuri Temple, especially at sunrise. It offers sweeping vistas of the Himalayan peaks—ideal if you're heading from Rishikesh to Auli and want a preview of the landscapes ahead. Beatles Ashram, officially known as Chaurasi Kutia, is another unique spot. Covered in graffiti and surrounded by forest, it’s a creative and meditative space. Rishikesh is also a great base for your Auli Chopta tour package. Its connectivity via road and rail makes it easy to reach, and the town’s energy sets the tone for the adventure ahead. Whether you're traveling solo or with a group, Rishikesh offers a balanced mix of culture, calm, and thrill.

Famous Things to Buy in Rishikesh


Rishikesh isn’t just a spiritual town—it’s also a great place to shop for meaningful souvenirs and practical travel gear. If you're heading on the Auli Chopta tour package, picking up essentials here can make your journey smoother. Start with the markets near Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula, where you’ll find spiritual items like rudraksha beads, incense sticks, brass idols, and prayer flags. These are perfect keepsakes or gifts. For travelers heading from Rishikesh to Auli, woolen shawls, gloves, and jackets are smart buys. The weather in Auli and Chopta can be chilly, especially during early mornings and treks. Many shops stock affordable trekking gear—backpacks, walking sticks, and thermal wear—that come in handy for the Auli to Chopta leg of the trip.


Ayurvedic products are another highlight. Locally sourced oils, herbal teas, and organic soaps are available in abundance. These wellness items reflect the town’s holistic vibe and are great for self-care during or after your trip. You’ll also find handmade jewelry, crystals, and Himalayan salt lamps that add a touch of the mountains to your home. If you're into books, several stores near the ashrams sell titles on yoga, spirituality, and Himalayan travel. These are great reads for the road, especially if you're doing the Chopta Rishikesh circuit and want to dive deeper into the region’s culture.

Adventure Activities in Rishikesh


Rishikesh is India’s go-to destination for adventure, and it’s the perfect place to kick off your Auli Chopta tour package. Whether you're traveling solo or with a group, the town offers a wide range of activities that get your adrenaline pumping. White-water rafting on the Ganga is the most popular—there are multiple stretches, from beginner-friendly to Grade IV rapids. It’s a thrilling way to start your Rishikesh to Auli journey. Bungee jumping at Mohan Chatti is India’s highest, with an 83-meter drop that’s not for the faint-hearted. Flying fox, giant swing, and cliff jumping are also available nearby. These activities are ideal for travelers who want to push their limits before heading into the serene landscapes of Auli and Chopta.


For nature-based adventure, try kayaking, zip-lining, or mountain biking. These are great for solo travelers and groups alike, especially those continuing to Auli to Chopta, where trekking and alpine exploration await. Rishikesh sets the tone for an active, immersive Himalayan experience. Yoga and wellness retreats also offer a different kind of adventure—mental and spiritual. Many travelers combine physical thrill with inner calm, making Rishikesh a holistic starting point for the Auli Chopta Rishikesh circuit.

Hidden Places in Rishikesh


Rishikesh may be known for its iconic ghats and adventure sports, but it also hides a quieter, more soulful side that many travelers miss. If you're planning a Rishikesh to Auli trip or returning from Auli to Rishikesh, these offbeat spots offer a refreshing pause from the usual tourist trail. Start with Patna Waterfall, tucked away on the Neelkanth road. Unlike the more popular Neer Garh, Patna is less crowded and surrounded by thick forest. A short hike leads you to cascading water and natural pools—perfect for a peaceful dip. Nearby, the Vashishta Cave is another hidden gem. This ancient meditation spot, located about 25 km from Rishikesh, is ideal for those seeking solitude. The cave is quiet, cool, and overlooks the Ganga, making it a serene stop before heading on your Auli Chopta tour package.


For nature lovers, Phool Chatti Ashram offers a tranquil escape. Located upstream from Laxman Jhula, it’s surrounded by forest and riverbanks, and often skipped by mainstream travelers. You can join a short yoga retreat or simply enjoy the calm. Another lesser-known spot is Garud Chatti Waterfall, a multi-tiered cascade that’s best visited early in the morning. It’s a short trek from the main road and offers a raw, untouched vibe. If you're into panoramic views, Kunjapuri Devi Temple is a sunrise spot that’s still relatively underexplored. The temple sits atop a hill and offers sweeping views of the snow-capped Himalayas—especially magical if you're heading from Rishikesh to Auli and want a preview of the peaks ahead. These hidden places in Rishikesh are perfect for travelers who want more than just rafting and yoga. They add depth to your itinerary and offer a quieter, more personal connection to the region—especially when paired with the scenic and spiritual journey to Auli and Chopta.

Just got back 😁,from ,a week long,20-26 th January , all girls tour package of Manali -kasol-jibhi, headed by geetanjali and Divya ...,as travel coordinators....the trip was truly enjoyable and very memorable, especially ,for me ,as the youngest girl,at 56years,in a group of 16 girls (20 year olds)....the team leader , geetanjali and second in command,Divya are very capable, sporty and encouraging type...they make an excellent combination and have good leadership quality..,will go ,great places in the near future....they are capable of tackling unforseen circumstances in a spirited manner,...also ,not to be forgotten , to complement ,the driving skills of Mr.Mani bhaiya, who navigated the difficult terrain and unpredictable weather conditions, very well.

Thank you JustWravel for giving me one of my best �first group-trip� experience - All-Girls Spiti Valley trip! I was a bit nervous before the trip began, but within no time, I realised that this was the best decision I took for myself. Saurav was a really friendly and easy-going trip leader and Mani Bhai was the sweetest local guide ever, who drove us around and also developed such a lovely bond with us. Both of them took great care of the group. Felt like family! ?? Lovely stay and food arrangements - never faced an issue even once. Most memorable trip! Thankyou!
