I hope the title of this post was sung to the appropriate tune... my last (half) day in Rishikesh and my mini-road trip to Dehradun.
Aftermuch a bit of deliberation I am opting to take the "first class" method of trasport and feel like some kind of inauthentic glamour queen because of it.
Option 1: taxi to Rishikesh town/bus stop - public bus - taxi to Doon School (and likely getting ripped off for the first and last step. Slightly unclear on the scheduling - likely have to wait an hour or more beyond the travel time).
Required: carry over-sized, now TOTALLY FULL 40-some liter backpack.
Cost: about $12 Canadian Dollars
Option 2: hire a private car from the Ashram door to the school campus (set price & reasonably reliable timetable... i.e. when I order it (give or take aka. Indian time).
Required: carry backpack to door and... uhhh... no that's it.
Cost: about $25 Canadian Dollars.
I opted for the $13 peace-of-mind fee. Just call me a Hollywood Heiress... actually, please don't.
Next stop - Dehradun!
