Here in the temple, several religious rituals are performed by the pujaris which include the Arti ceremony. The holy river Ganges originated from the Gangotri glacier.

Bad experience about hot water...
Lastly:
1) Hotel Ekwa Ganga is not so good. Very Bad experience about hot water. May be our room (106) bathroom faces the problem in hot water line.
2) For 10 days itinerary, the vehicle (which is provided) inner condition is not so good. But we are fortunate that everything went well…
Rest is fine..
Thanks once again…
Great Service
Great Service, Customer oriented, Always Available for their guests.
Experience was absolutely seamless and enjoyable
I recently used Allseasonz Holidays & Travel Agency for car rental services during a trip covering Jim Corbett, Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Mussoorie, and I must say the experience was absolutely seamless and enjoyable.
From the very beginning, the team at Allseasonz impressed me with their well-maintained vehicles and highly skilled chauffeurs. Each driver we had was experienced, professional, courteous, and extremely customer-oriented, making our journey not just smooth but memorable. Their deep knowledge of local routes and tourist spots added great value to our travel experience.
One of the highlights of the service was their punctuality and commitment—every pickup and drop was on time, which made planning our days hassle-free. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the top-notch service and comfort provided throughout the trip.
Special thanks to Rahul Malhotra, Operations Manager at Allseasonz, for his outstanding support and coordination. He ensured everything ran like clockwork and was always available to assist with any queries or changes.
If you're planning a trip to Uttarakhand and need reliable car rentals, I highly recommend just booking with Allseasonz—they’ll truly take care of the rest!
Memorable Week's Time In Uttarakhand
Everything that Allseasonsz arranged went off without a hitch. All the tours, the transfers and drivers, everything went smoothly and on time.
amazing Kainchi dham trip
We returned home earlier this week and we are so energized from the amazing Nainital trip. We are very grateful and thankful to our travel agency for planning a very customized, relaxed, fun and amazing time.
reliable...

It was was great time spent.. thanks fr all the arrangements Rahul Bhai
See U soon Agani
The trip was AMAZING!
Our agent Shivam Joshi did a great job setting everything up for us. I told him our interests and he made our tour around what we liked.All the details were taken care of and all the transfers were on time. No waiting. There was no thinking or planning our day. It was all taken care of.Looking for doing another Uttarakhand tour with them soon ! Thanks
...was more than we had hoped and expected
Our recent Uttarakhand trip of one week was more than we had hoped and expected. One of the best trip we have taken. The local uttarakhand travel company helped us and worked with us easily and answered questions promptly.
very well organised...
I recently done my tour to Uttarakhand with All Seasons Holiday and it was very well organised by Rahul Malhotra, from hotel to driver all are well booked in advance. He was also very prompt in response. I definitely do my next travel with them. My all best wishes.
trustworthy and polite person...
They helped us with suitable to our needs iterinary , were very trustable and accommodating through our 3N/4D trip to Nainital and places nearby.
Their driver was very trustworthy and polite person. They took all payments after the fact except for a 1/3rd initial booking amount. This gave us comfort that they will be there with us through the end.
Jim Corbett safari area zone selection was the only disappointing factor, but we booked our trip in a very short notice period. But if they had got us Dikhala zone cant tkts for just 2 passengers, with their connections would have been great. It would have costed less as full jeep booking not needed or most importantly we would have gotten to see more animals.
Over all a resale and trustworthy tour company I would engage services again and recommend my friends and family too.
Just Average....
Just Average.They don't have their vehicles. The outsourced drivers are not good. The owner doesn't bother what happens to the tourists after the trip is booked.
Every Hotels are very good....
Every Hotels are very good and your response in any problem is very good.Your planing is very good.And everything where perfect and value for money package.We will suggest everyone to take their package.
