Hey everyone,

I’m planning a 6–7 day solo trip in the first week of May: Rishikesh - Chopta (Tungnath/Chandrashila) - Deoria Tal and back.

I wanted to ask:

- Is this a good route for a first solo trip?

- Is 6–7 days sufficient or too rushed?

- How easy is it to navigate between these places (buses/shared cabs etc.)?

- Any budget tips to keep it within 15–20k?

- General solo travel advice or things I should be careful about?

I’m comfortable with light trekking and want a mix of adventure + peaceful time.

Would really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences!

I'm planning my first solo trip in the first week of May and am considering Rishikesh and nearby regions. I'd really appreciate suggestions for a 6-7 day itinerary covering good places to explore around Rishikesh.

I'm comfortable with trekking and would love to include it. My budget is around 15,000.

Would love to hear suggestions for any other place too.

Thank You.
