Overview
Uttarakhand is a state that packs in everything—mountains, rivers, spiritual towns, and alpine meadows—and this Auli Chopta Rishikesh backpacking trip is designed to give you a slice of all of it. Starting from Rishikesh, the gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas, the route takes you deep into the heart of Uttarakhand. Auli, known as India’s ski capital, offers panoramic views of Nanda Devi and Nar Parvat, while Chopta, often called the “Mini Switzerland” of India, is all about peaceful meadows and high-altitude hikes. Rishikesh, on the other hand, brings in the energy with river rafting, Ganga Aarti, and iconic bridges like Ram Jhula and Janki Setu. The trip starts and ends in Rishikesh, making it easy to access by road or rail from Delhi and other major cities. Whether you're looking for snow, trails, or spiritual vibes, this route covers it all.
Doing Auli, Chopta, and Rishikesh together makes sense—not just geographically, but experientially. The Rishikesh to Auli drive takes you along the Alaknanda River and past the sacred Prayags—Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, and Nandaprayag. From Auli, the Chopta to Auli distance is short and scenic, with alpine roads leading to meadows and forests. Chopta is the base for the Tungnath and Chandrashila trek, where you’ll hike to the highest Shiva temple in the world and get 360º Himalayan views. On the way back, a short hike to Deoria Tal offers mirror-like reflections of snow peaks. Ending the trip in Rishikesh brings it full circle—with a thrilling rafting session and sunset Ganga Aarti to wrap things up. This Auli Chopta tour package is ideal for travelers who want a balanced mix of adventure, nature, and culture in one go.
Traveling with JustWravel means you get the best of Uttarakhand without the planning stress. Whether you’re going solo or 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 well. We include local immersive activities, adventure experiences, 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.

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.

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.

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.

What our Clients Say About Us
I took Uttarakhand backpacking trip for Chopta, chadrashila,Jim Corbet and Rishikesh.What an experience it was. After a lot of thought, I had booked my first solo trip with JustWravel and I think it was the best experience of my life. I ended up creating such beautiful memories and great friends. Our trip captain Ramneek was so responsible, patient and cooperative that nobody can ask more.Ramneek was man of the match who helped everyone to get safely down from Chandrashila as so much snowy path was there.Ramneek has taken care of to book my Bungy jumping and not just that he motivated as well so that I did it confidently at 1st attempt which was my life’s 1st wonderful experience .
It was a hassle free trip, all the travel and hotel bookings were in place, the food was great and on time.
Looking forward for more such amazing experiences with JustWravel.

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.
