Bike Rental at Ram Jhula, Rishikesh

We're Right Here

Anubhav Travel, your bike and scooty rental in Rishikesh, is at Ram Jhula — near the bridge, on the Swarg Ashram side. Not a delivery zone, not a partner shop. Our actual premises, where the bikes are kept and serviced, and where we've been since 2015.

If you're staying anywhere on the east bank — Parmarth Niketan, Geeta Bhawan, Swarg Ashram, the ashram guesthouses along the ghat road — you can walk to us in a few minutes. No auto, no crossing the river, no coordinating a delivery.

That matters more than it sounds. Most rental listings you'll find for Rishikesh are aggregators who dispatch from somewhere unspecified, or shops on the far side of town. Being able to walk in, see the vehicle, meet the person responsible for it and take the keys is a different experience — particularly if something goes wrong later.

How to find us

• From the Ram Jhula footbridge: cross to the Swarg Ashram side and we're right by Nada Yoga School, about ten metres from where the bridge lands.
• From Parmarth Niketan or Geeta Bhawan: walk along the ghat road toward Ram Jhula — a few minutes on foot.
• From the Muni Ki Reti / Tapovan side: walk across the Ram Jhula footbridge. If you're coming by auto or taxi, ask for Swarg Ashram, Ram Jhula — vehicles reach this bank by road, not over the footbridge.
• From the bus stand or railway station: an auto or taxi to Swarg Ashram takes around 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. Or skip the trip: we also deliver to the railway station and bus stand.

How renting at the shop works

1. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and the bike you want, plus photos of your licence and ID. In peak season this is how you make sure the bike is held for you.
2. Walk in and check the bike with us — tyres, brakes, lights, existing scratches. We note anything already there so there's no argument at return.
3. Pay the rent and deposit: ₹1,000 for the Activa, ₹3,000 for a Royal Enfield, cash or UPI. We hold one original government photo ID.
4. Ride out with a helmet, chain lock and luggage carrier. The whole thing takes about ten minutes.
5. Return here, we check the bike over, and the deposit and ID come straight back.

Riding out of Ram Jhula

Ram Jhula is a good starting point for everything east and north. The road up to Neelkanth begins on this side of the river, so you skip the town entirely. Badrinath road, Devprayag and everything beyond is a straight run out.

The nearest fuel pump is about 3 km from the shop.

Good first rides from the shop: up the Neelkanth road past the Garud Chatti waterfall to Neelkanth Mahadev (24 km, a half day), the Kunjapuri sunrise, or a slow loop to Triveni Ghat and the main market. Back in the evening, the Ganga aarti at Parmarth Niketan is a short walk from the shop.

Parking and the bridge

Ram Jhula bridge is closed to two-wheelers. To cross to the west bank you go around by road, via the Janki Setu bridge.

Parking on the Swarg Ashram side is easier than at Laxman Jhula, but it fills during aarti hours and festival days.

Our river rafting trips finish at Ram Jhula or Laxman Jhula.
