Rishikesh at end of May this year
Am I crazy to head to Rishikesh/Haridwar at the end of May this year? Will the Buddha's birthday leave the towns overrun even more than usual? I will be finishing a business trip in Delhi around May 25 or 26, and was thinking of flying to the area and spending a few days seeing the sights. Any persuasive arguments or level takes in favor or against very much appreciated. Fwiw I was thinking ropeway up to Mansa Devi Temple/the Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri; Morning temples (Chandi Devi, Daksha Mahadev), then drive to Rishikesh, Ram Jhula and Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan ashram; Pre-dawn hike to Kunjapuri Temple, some yoga and the Neer Waterfall forest trail, and Vashisht's Meditation Cave. My other option was flying to Leh and doing some of those hikes. Thanks!
