Late winter night train from Haridwar Railway Station and availability of an auto from Tapovan, Rishikesh is not possible. A taxi is the only option. I inquire during evening hours with the taxi stand situated at Tapovan Sarai, Laxman Jhula Road in Rishikesh.

Yes, they said it is possible and was suggested to book a taxi in advance.

Ok – said I. And how much is the taxi fare?

Tapovan, Rishikesh to Haridwar Railway Station Taxi Fare – Rs. 760.

Paid and received the receipt. Thank you very much – said I.

At 10:30 pm the taxi was ready. During the journey I inquire with the taxi driver – is pickup also possible from Haridwar Railway Station if the train arrival is late in the night or early morning.

Yes, said the taxi driver. One has to inform in advance via the mobile/phone and one has to pay a little more.

Ok – said I. Mostly auto was the best option from Rishikesh to Haridwar Railway Station but as the train was late in the night taxi was the best and most comfortable.
