Route to Devprayag:
It started all the way from Hastinapur to Meerut. We took the Yoga Express, a comfortable train that offered stunning views along the way. Reaching Rishikesh, we took a bus that wound through the winding roads, taking us closer to the snowy peaks of Devprayag.
Accommodation in Devprayag:
Our Himalayan adventure had Hotel Ganga Ashoka as our base camp. For about Rs.1500, we discovered a cosy retreat, embraced by the majestic mountains. The warmth of the place instantly made us feel at home.
