Delhi to Rishikesh in a Pet-Friendly Caravan: Two Dogs, One Nani, and the Ganga

We booked a luxury RV, loaded Apple and Captain, picked up Ekta's mother, and drove overnight from Gurgaon to Rishikesh. By dawn we were parked by the Ganga at Laxman Jhula. All three of them — Apple, Captain, and Nani — were in the river within five minutes of arrival. This is how a caravan trip with dogs actually works in India.
