Do Malaysians need a visa for India?

Yes. Malaysian passport holders apply for an India e-Visa online before departure. The tourist e-Visa covers tourism and short visits and is valid for 30 days from entry. The application is on the official India e-Visa portal, and Dhesu walks you through it when you book. Visa fees are not included in the package price.

Which airport does this trip use?

This is a land-only package: hotels, transfers, tours and guide are included, but international flights are not. Most Malaysian travellers fly from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Dehradun (Jolly Grant) or Delhi Airport (DED / DEL). We can recommend suitable flights and timings on request.

What is the best time to visit Haridwar and Rishikesh?

September to April offers the most comfortable weather. The towns sit in the foothills, so summers are milder than the plains. Avoid the peak monsoon (July-August) when the Ganges runs high and rafting may pause.

Can I do yoga or rafting on this trip?

Yes. Rishikesh offers everything from gentle riverside yoga classes to white-water rafting on the Ganges. We can arrange these as optional activities. Let us know your interest when booking.

Is alcohol and meat available in these towns?

Both Haridwar and Rishikesh are holy towns and are largely vegetarian and alcohol-free by custom and regulation. Pure vegetarian food is plentiful and excellent. This adds to the contemplative, wellness-focused atmosphere.

North India
