Ram Jhula, Rishikesh to Haridwar Junction Railway Station via Shared Auto-Rickshaw – How much fare I Paid?

Ram Jhula, Rishikesh to Haridwar Junction Railway Station via Shared Auto-Rickshaw I paid Rs. 80 per person (including luggage) but as per local friend the fare they pay is Rs. 70 only.

The distance between Ram Jhula, Rishikesh to Haridwar Junction Railway Station is 30+ km.

Anyway, sharing an auto rickshaw is one of the cheapest ways to reach Haridwar Junction Railway Station from Ram Jhula, Rishikesh.

The auto-rickshaw in Rishikesh is known as Vikram – larger and can accommodate 10 passengers instead of 8 comfortably.

Many times one is sandwiched between passengers inside auto-rickshaws.

During the season (October-June) the shared autos are very crowded and traveling via shared auto rickshaw might be an issue.

Then booking an entire auto rickshaw is the best.

Booking an entire auto rickshaw costs Rs. 700 (10 passengers x Rs. 70) – You have to bargain.

After years I visited Rishikesh and found the road route between Rishikesh and Haridwar Junction Railway station has improved a lot but the journey time between Ram Jhula, Rishikesh to Haridwar Junction Railway Station is still approx. 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Please Note: In 2013, from Tapovan, Rishikesh to  Haridwar Junction Railway Station I paid Rs. 400 as auto fare.
