Tip from Trip101 local expert
If you're at Seventh Heaven Inn Rishikesh and yearning for a nature escapade, Patna Waterfall is your go-to. It's just 5.1 km away. You can zip there by renting a scooter from Tapovan - it's a breeze and a bit of a thrill! The hike is a hidden gem, tucked away off Neelkanth Temple Road, with a simple trailhead marked by a chai stall across from the Sidh Bali Temple. Trust me, it's not signposted, but it's not hard to find. It's a short 1.5 km (0.93 mi) walk through the serene Rajaji Forest that I find absolutely rejuvenating. Do wear comfy shoes, and yes, carrying a water bottle is wise.
