You step off the van and the valley narrows: limestone walls close in, the smell of wet earth and moss rises, and a local guide taps the first headlamp on. The day unfolds in compact movements—short hikes between villages, two caves that require stooping and light crawling, a quick visit to a riverside temple and a splash at a roadside waterfall—then a return to Rishikesh by evening.
