If you haven't went through previous posts, read Day 1 and Day 2.

The third and the last day in Rishikesh was an exhausting though "near to nature" day. We were all ready to go to Nir Waterfall. But it was few miles away from our hotel. Basically people take cabs for this much distance but we didn't.

I believe going on foot is the best way to know and explore a place. This way you get dissolves with the local public and get to know their customs from inside and not from what is shown outside. You get to see the shops and vendors, people and crowd and many more interesting things of several genres.
So we all got ready wearing our most comfortable clothes with warm and dry socks. Pulled up the straps of our bags and left for the waterfall. Talking of the expectations, we weren't having much of them. But we walked just for the sake of spending some time in Rishikesh.

We were only half the way up, rain started to shower. (I'm am not a big fan of Rains). But somehow I managed the anger for rain even though it was spoiling my shoes and making me wet. (uhhh)
After asking the people several times and smoking the cigarettes several other times, we reached the starting point of the way to waterfall. The way was unpaved but you can drive on that. I suggest that you don't as it's much fun if you go up to the waterfall on foot. Typical though it may seen, Rajat (my friend) says it's the way which is fun and not the destiny. Other friend Nitesh doesn't say anything at all.
Getting to the point was exhausting enough and we came to knew that there was a little trek to the waterfall point. So we "trekked"!
The waterfall is not very big but there is a kind of pool constructed there. The water is chilling even in summers and you can bath there for no limit of time. But one should be generous enough to leave after a certain time as there would be other people coming to that place. So have you fun soon!

We weren't that generous enough and we enjoyed the waterfall for like 2 hours. The best thing is you can have food there. You can either buy there or take you food there. But please for nature's sake, don't leave you littering behind.
So we trekked down and sat in water for the very refreshing "chai". The tables are fixed in water. I mean you can have "chai", noodles and other food while having you feet soaked in the cold water coming from the waterfall.

There wasn't any trek in nearby location and far ones were costly. So we enjoyed our very local and free of cost "trek". The weather was beautiful all day apart from the rain.
While coming back to the point where we started, we went at the Ganga Beach and sat down on huge rocks for a while. I believe, "the wind flowing in nature's lap brings thoughts for the artists and while waving you hair, these thoughts are entered into your mind. Some part of it comes out as art and bigger part resides into their soul".
Likewise Day 1 and Day 2, I did found "The mystery painting" on Day 3 also. I don't know if these paintings were some sort of advertisements or what. What I do know is these were something that catches eyes.
