I also let them know about that this trek is popular among first time travelers. So many adventure lovers from India and abroad go to catch mountain sunrise from the top of the temple complex, surprisingly , there are few tourists,\u00a0 choose to do trekking which is most beautiful part of this activity.<\/p>\n

I do not know why ? maybe they do not have time or cost. I simple say to you that this activity is for every one, there is no age bound , 10 – 70 years person ( international travelers )\u00a0 easily can beat this trail.<\/p>\n

Why it is easy? because, it is one way up by private transport,\u00a0 32 km road distance from Rishikesh to reach there, usually it takes 1 hours up to top of Kunjapuri’ s temple.\u00a0 So, you have to wake early to reach sunrise point in time, generally in summer season in between 4:00 am to 4:30am\u00a0 and in winter season in between 5:00 am to 5:30 am.<\/p>\n

Only\u00a0 9 km down hill trek via Badhera village,\u00a0 Dharkot village, Neer village and Neergarh or Neer Waterfall.\u00a0 But you must know that some point the trail become moderate challenging and\u00a0 tricky, so needs maneuvering of leg strength to negotiate with tricky path.<\/p>\n

How to reach Kunjapuri Temple from Rishikesh<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are not interested in trekking activity then only take driver and go, mostly local drivers know route to reach there and\u00a0 than if your driver is not local then you must confirm sunrise time and route with locals, because many cases they do not have exact idea when to go and how to go there.<\/p>\n
