Embark on your journey via the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, taking advantage of the early start to clear the city before the morning rush. Stop for a quintessential highway breakfast at Cheetal Grand or Namaste Midway in Khatauli, and enjoy the refreshing sights of the Upper Ganges Canal as it accompanies you toward the foothills.
Upon arriving in the yoga capital, settle into your riverside accommodation before heading out for a healthy organic lunch at The 60's Cafe (Delmar Guest House). Spend your afternoon wandering across the iconic Ram Jhula suspension bridge and exploring the vibrant local markets, or discover the tranquil, graffiti-clad ruins of The Beatles Ashram nestled against the lush backdrop of Rajaji Tiger Reserve.
As dusk settles, head to Triveni Ghat to witness the soul-stirring Maha Ganga Aarti, where the rhythmic chanting and hundreds of floating lamps create a magical atmosphere along the water's edge. Conclude your evening with a candlelit dinner at Freedom Café, enjoying the cool mountain breeze and views of the shimmering Laxman Jhula bridge reflecting on the dark waters of the Ganges.
Start your morning with an adrenaline-pumping white water rafting session departing from Shivpuri, where you will navigate thrilling rapids such as Roller Coaster and Golf Course on the icy waters of the Ganges. After conquering the river, head to the rugged cliffs of Mohan Chatti to experience the ultimate rush with Bungee Jumping or the Giant Swing at Jumpin Heights.
Recharge after your high-octane morning with a soul-soothing organic lunch at Bistro Nirvana, enjoying its tranquil garden setting tucked away from the main bustle. Before commencing your return drive, take a short, revitalizing hike to the tiered pools of Neer Garh Waterfall to soak in the final views of the Shivalik hills before heading back towards Delhi via the Muzaffarnagar bypass.
As your road trip nears its end, pull over at the famous Jain Shikanji in Modinagar for a refreshing glass of their signature spiced lemonade to fuel the final leg of the drive. Once back in Delhi, mark the conclusion of your journey with a celebratory dinner at the iconic Gulati on Pandara Road before returning home with memories of the mountains.
