In my case, this adventure starts from Delhi bus station. We had been told that taking buses in India was very easy, just go to the station, get on the bus and they would charge you right there. We came running to the station with two more friends. We were late and saw many buses that said "Uttarakhand" (the state where Rishikesh is). We got on the first bus we saw and it set sail after a few minutes. It turns out that we had climbed on a public bus, those who had told us so much that we should NOT get on board ... Why? Because they go thousands of km per hour, they play the horn without stopping, and they drive in the opposite lane all the time.
So that what happens to me does not happen to you, you have to take your precautions. If you are in New Delhi, you should check Redbus.in to see the bus and station schedules. They usually leave the Kashmiri Gate station. Try to arrive 1 hour before the bus leaves. Make sure it is a Volvo bus, and if you prefer more comfort, with AC (air conditioning). Prices vary between 500-1000 INR ($ 7-15). If you go on a public bus it will probably cost you 200-450 INR ($ 3-6), but it's not worth such a small difference in money, because the Volvos are a thousand times better. We used this taxi to go to a temple on the outskirts of Rishikesh ... you usually find them in any tour agency in the center.
