From New Delhi, travel to Rishikesh by bus or train (only occasional trains to Rishikesh from Delhi). Then take a taxi to Laxman Jhulla area just north of town. Cross the long footbridge and turn left to walk 100 meters to the taxi stand. The taxi will drive you 5 kilometers to Phool Chatti Ashram gate. Taxi rate is likely to be between 200-250 rupees from Laxman Jhulla to Phool Chatti Ashram (as of Nov 2009).
