We did about 3 horse swings at Neel Waterfall and enjoyed. We went to the topmost waterfall. The water that surrounds the waterfall here will be about 8 feet deep and almost 3 feet from everywhere else. I had a lot of fun swimming and found a great place for a photoshoot.
Nice place for Couples as well as families and groups.
One of my suggestions for the development of this place- More than 1000 people visit this place every day and they charge 30 rupees per person per visit i.e. around 30000 per day and I get more than 9 lakhs per month but I don't think so much money is spent on this place would be going.

Its a beautiful trek will fine views. Many people would not about this place and even if they know, they come back from the first maggie point and bridge.
Trek is much higher and the actual waterfall is seen, beyond the first location - all you need to do is keep trekking and going up.
From Tapovan, we hired a scooty and it was 6-7 kms on Badrinath highway. After that, there is a small diversion, which goes uphill to the starting point of Neer Waterfalls. This cut can be missed, so keep asking local people.
We overall spent 2 -2.5 hours, climbing up and reaching the pond up where water collects from the fall. Many people bathe in that water , directly coming from the waterfall and falling into the pond. It was a wonderful experience, sitting under the sun, with feet dipped in cold water.

Rishikesh might be known for being the yoga capital of the world, but a hike to the nearby Neergarh Waterfalls is a great option for those looking to explore the countryside of the region.
Neergarh waterfall is the most famous waterfall in Rishikesh which can amaze you with its view and test your stamina with its hard trek. 4.5 km drive from Lakshman Jhula Road to Neergarh waterfall. You can either go by your personal vehicle, a cab or rent a scooter for 500 rupees a day.
Fee: 30 rupees Ticket charged as an entrance fee.
Neer Garh Waterfall is a real beauty to witness. Amalgam of three stunning waterfalls combine to make this one mighty waterfall, which falls off a cliff as high as 25 feet.
You can also trek this fall- Most visitors tend to start trekking from the famous Laxman Jhula Bridge. It’s a fairly straightforward, patched, uphill road, before reaching the entrance and following the forest trail for the final 20 minutes of the trek.

During Summers Neergarh waterfalls is a narrow falls dropping in a plunge pool. It's wonderful to have a bath in the cool water pool. It can be reached by Trek climbing for 20 mins. The uphill Trek is tiresome but you forget it once you experience the serenity of the place & enjoy the dip.

Entrance to this waterfall is just 40 Rs. On reaching the base of the waterfall we have to climb around 10 min to reach the first waterfall. Its advisable to carry dry fit / change of clothes. There is small pomd in front of the waterfall around 3 feet deep. Water was good and fresh.
However advisable to reach after 11 so that the water is warm.
You get hit maggi and tea outside after your dip and cold waters.
Kids had a blast and we spent around 1.5 hours in the waterfall..
Overall all a great family time.

As a tourist it’s 50 rupees to get in but it’s worth the money. The waterfalls are beautiful and there’s lots of places for swimming as well as cafes where you can stop for chai and/or a snack.
Obviously it is a bit of a climb up to the falls but it’s manageable - agree with other reviews though about wearing sensible walking/hiking shoes.

The waterfall was very dirty and unhygienic. I suggest not to visit during the summer months. We went in April and the trek was so steep and dangerous. The water was extremely dirty. The rainy season of Uttarakhand would be a good time to visit.

Took a rented scooter to reach here. Steep hike/trek of about 30-45 minutes. Do wear trekking shoes if possible or any other shoes with good grip. Don't wear chappals. Can be slippery. 3 tier waterfalls. 1st tier is just 20 steps. Tier 2 and Tier 3 require some hiking. Can be tiring if you don't do any physical activity. Steps are intact in some places. Broken in many places. Maggi ans tea stalls are available at each Tier so you can sit and relax and climb slowly. Do reach Tier 3 waterfall, it's really good. Carry shorts, under garments, towel if you want to shower. But there is no place to change.

Is it safe for families, I mean how's the security arrangements there
Written 23 March 2019
Yes, I believe that it is safe for families. It is not hard and it is not long, unless you choose to go to the hilltop village that is way past the top of the trail (There is a mountainside Hindu temple up there). As for security, there is only a ticket booth near, but not AT the bottom, and there are about three small kiosks with people selling cold drinks and snacks, but of course, they are not security personnel. There is no fencing on the trail but there are two great places along the way and at the first "top" stop to swim! Enjoy! (I just read in the news here in the States that your city just hosted the TEST Cricket Matches!)

Waterfall area will be nice for mid may. However you might face hot and humid weather throught the day if it is not a rainy season.

Is this Neer Garh Trek suitable for a family with a 7yrs old child and an one year old baby, from hiking point of view?
Written 9 March 2018
Hi there, actually its not much of a 'hike' on a trail, rather you walk along the highway from town for about 20/30 mins (or you can drive) and when you reach the sign and entry point it is a very steep gravel road with switchbacks-also about 20/30 mins. then you see a sign on the left and walk a few steps to reach neer garh waterfall. the only view is the small waterfall. I would only suggest talking a 7yr old part way, or maybe even drive the whole way if it is a hot day or are tired. driving it would be very near. I think people like to walk as the highway follows the river and its nice if you can put up with the cars.

What could be the best time or season to visit this place ?
Written 13 January 2018
Depends on where you are going in northern India. In July/August Deli is HOT so go north! But we went to Rishikesh to see the Ganges and the religious symbolism or honor it has in the life, and daily life of some, Sikh temples (we were welcomed in for song/dance/music and free meals) and the ashram the Beatles studied at.
We went further north to Shimla then Manali (great place in the cooler mountains) then took a bus across the Himalayas with snow and glaciers at 17,500 ft (July 29) and up to Leh where it was cool enough for a long sleeve shirt (65-70) but a refreshing break from Delhi.
The National Highway from Manali to Leh is ONLY open from June to Oct and the 300 Mile trip takes 20 hours (2 day trip each way but it’s cheap) but I really recommend it as a once in a lifetime trip! Unbelievable colors in the mountains above the tree line, at one point I saw 8 very high cascading waterfalls at one time and it’s just overwhelming in its uniqueness.
