We're Ashu Tosh Nautiyal and Nitin Gwari β cousins, Rishikesh locals, and the two people behind RideRishikesh.
We didn't start this as a business idea on a whiteboard. We started it because we kept watching the same thing happen β travellers arriving in Rishikesh full of excitement, then getting handed an under-maintained scooty by a roadside stall, charged double the fair rate, and given zero local advice. It frustrated us. We knew we could do better.
Ashu brings the tech and operations side β a BSc in IT and years of full-stack development and freelancing means the booking process is smooth, fast, and hassle-free. Nitin brings the soul of Rishikesh β an MA in Yoga, a regular presence at Ganga Aarti on Shatrughan Ghat, and the kind of local knowledge that no travel app can replicate.
Together, we built RideRishikesh β a service we'd actually want to use ourselves.
When you book with RideRishikesh, you're not dealing with a call centre or a national rental chain. You're WhatsApp-messaging directly with people who were born and raised here.
Nitin can tell you the exact time the Ganga Aarti starts tonight, which road to Neelkanth is open after the rains, and where to get the best chai near Ram Jhula. Ashu makes sure your booking is confirmed in minutes, the scooty is ready when you arrive, and everything works the way it should.
Between the two of us β we've got Rishikesh covered.
We started with scooties and bikes. Then travellers started asking for more β airport pickups, Char Dham taxis, guided treks, camping, local transfers. So we built all of that too.
