There are many trekking routes in and out of Rishikesh, all trekking routes are very popular among domestic and international adventure travelers. As I am tour operator based in Upper Tapovan and receive\u00a0 many query from inbound travelers about best easy one day trekking activity, and I advise them Kunjapuri Sunrise Trek in my first interaction, and try to convince travelers strongly, explaining them if you really want to spot and experience something exclusively.<\/p>\n

Why Kunjapuri Sunrise Trek<\/h3>\n

This trekking route offers goddess temple blessing,\u00a0 distance view snow laden Himalayan peaks, best sunrise point of Rishikesh, the scenic trekking trail from easy to moderate difficulty,\u00a0 Himalayan village lifestyle and culture, local farming visit and the biggest and most scenic waterfall of Rishikesh that is Neer waterfall. Non of adventure activities like Kujapuri Sunrise Trek in Rishikesh.<\/p>\n

I also let them know about that this trek is popular so many adventure lovers go to spot the sunrise from the top of the temple complex, but there are few tourists choose to do trekking.\u00a0 This trek is for every one, there is no age bound , 10 – 70 years person ( international travelers )\u00a0 easily can do this trekking activity here.<\/p>\n

Because, one way up from Rishikesh you should go by private transport to cover 32 km road distance from Rishikesh to catch the sunrise , usually it takes 1 hours from Rishikesh to reach temple top of Kunjapuri. So, you have to wake early to start 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

Hence, one way no trekking car drive then only approx. 9 km down hill trek via Badhera village,\u00a0 Dharkot village, Neer village and Neergarh or Neer Waterfall.\u00a0 But you have to keep in the mind that some point the trail become moderate challenging and\u00a0 tricky, so needs maneuvering of leg strength to negotiate with tricky path.<\/p>\n
