Rishikesh to Auli Cab — Fare, Distance & Route 2026

📏 255 km 9–10 hrs💰 from ₹7,500📍 Joshimath (ropeway to Auli)
Quick Answer

Rishikesh to Auli is 255 km, about 9–10 hrs by cab. One-way fares start at ₹7,500 (sedan) and the route runs Rishikesh → Devprayag → Rudraprayag → Karnaprayag → Chamoli → Joshimath → Auli. Booked with Shiv Ganga Travels, a Haridwar operator since 2010, with fixed fares and experienced hill drivers.

The Rishikesh approach to Auli is the same beautiful Alaknanda road as Badrinath, peeling up to the meadows at Joshimath instead of carrying on to the temple. Adventure travellers like starting here because they are often in Rishikesh already for rafting. Reach Joshimath by evening, ride Asia’s longest cable car up, and wake to Nanda Devi.
