Kunjapuri sunrise followed by trek down to Rishikesh - Ankush was an excellent guide - patient, caring, informative and careful that all were safe and having an enjoyable time.

Literally the best experience with the best people - Thanks to google and Trip Advisor we found this company and within minutes of messaging them had a hike booked in for the next day. We ended up doing a hike along the Ganges that wasnt advertised but met our request for about good couple of hour walk. Ankush arrived with a smiling face and off we went for The Best day, out of the way in to nature, away from the crowds we hiked and chatted, swam in a hidden waterfall , slowed down on the edge of the river and had hundreds of butterflies all over us - it was a magical and memorable day. Ankush our guide looked after us, shared local knowledge and his own philisophies and we had the most wonderful day. We rebooked them to take us sightseeing and again for the Kunjapuri sunrise experience. An absolute must do, another incredible experience with Ankush and another young guide ( should have written name down sorry) . The hikes, views and history they shared was just so wonderful, and made so much more by Kali and his team of gorgeous humans - we have been positively impacted by them and highly recommend anyone to use them - we’ll be back for a bigger trek next time. Thanks guys !

Fantastic Tour - Wonderful views and outstanding tour operator - The views from the top of the mountains are fantastic, although some some smoke hides the sunrise. The walk down the mountain provides beautiful sights of nature, small villas and waterfalls. The tour operator (Mapping the Himalayas) provides an excelent service - good breakfast, snack during the tour, safe walking and orientation and support to the group members, and no hurry - allowing the group to walk on their desired pace with stops for photografy whenever desired.

Memorable experience - Nice experience. A wonderful start to the day at sunrise at the temple. Then a pleasant hike to the waterfall, where we refreshed ourselves. The guide was very friendly, he told us a lot of interesting things, he took good care of the food and drinks. It's worth going!

Worth the Trek ;) - This is a scenic Tour setting out early doors, so you don’t miss the enchanting sunrise. Once you’ve had to peacefully take in the Sunrise and visit the Devi Temple, you’ll embark on the hike/trail back down the mountain. This is where my guide Ankush was truly great and came into his own. He even gave me his own trekking sticks to help and was able to talk through all the different sites and parts of the land while hiking along and made sure I was as comfortable as can be, even stopping at points for a breather and drink. What I learnt, this being my first time on this trek, and something that may help others after reading this in terms of how best to prepare for this trek / excursion is as follows: *) You have to be generally in physical decent shape to take on this trail comfortably. *) Please make sure you have the right footwear…. Coming along to this in your sandals or Nike’s ain’t going to cut it at all. Wear trekking boots if possible, that will support/protect you ankles from twisting and that are more likely to have deeper studs for grip *) This trail I would give a medium difficultly rating for someone who hasn’t done it before. *This is because there is allot of steep descending parts if this trail which there is “allot of loose rock and gravel” that you can easily lose your footing on, and it’s not a place you want to be injured. *)Theres no way around this as “the path, is the path” which for locals and experienced hikers will find easier then the first timer. I absolutely enjoyed myself and would do this again, but this time being better prepared and a more realistic expectation.

Nice trekking day - Honest and reliable agency. Good guiding with big breakfast. Break time at waterfalls to swim or relax. Efficient and well organized.

Beautiful Sunrise Tour - We had an amazing day with Anil! The sunrise at the Kunjapuri Temple was very beautiful as well as the hike back to Rishikesh with many cool spots! The whole team from Mapping The Himalayas was very kind and knowledgeable! Definitely recommended!

Great Experience with a Seasoned Local - I booked a private trek as a solo female and was not disappointed. Kaly was a great guide who offered plenty of stops, offered to help me when trail was loose, and even helped snapped photos! He kept a steady pace along mine, and made sure I was safe the entire time. He knows edible plants, talks with the local villagers, and gave tips for parts of the Himalayas where he's from. The sunrise at the temple was great, but i was eager to get the trek down started, so I asked if we could start the trek early. He was happy to accommodate. After the trek, he offered some local tips as well, which were very helpful 🧘🏽‍♀️

Very Nice expirence - The trekking to see the sunrise on the temple is very Nice , and the guy was very Nice . The views are BeautyFull and the trekking down is very Nice, but you should have some pratice on trekking

Wonderful experience! - Life changing experience in Rishikesh! Devesh was an excellent guide. We went to the Kunjapuri Temple and after it we went hiking to see the waterfall, it was really beautiful!
