Now to answer your questions: 1) We started the trip on 10th May, 2008, Saturday at 1:30 am. 2) I have not put rishikesh hotel or rafting details coz it was just a small part of our trip. I did not want to concentrate too much on that. Anyhow our rafting + hotel expense came to aprox. 2000 rs for 4 people. The main crux of my story was the adventure we experienced later, after leaving rishikesh. At gangotri, we stayed for 2 days in the car and 1 day in the tree house…so no hotel mate :)…yeah me and manish stayed in a hotel while going back for the clutch plate at uttarakashi. It was a fab room at just 200 bucks!.. u will find a lot of reasonable/cheap and good accomodation at uttarakashi….we did enquire hotel room prices at gangotri…they quote steep prices so be ready to negotiate….even the roadside foodstall/water/cigarettes are expensive there.We made STD call at 22rs/minute!!so I guess we were looted but we dint have an option… If u need any other info…pls let me know.
