Trip to Rishikesh

In case you have 5 days you can check below schedule.

Day 1: Arrival at Rishikesh. Stay at Palm Resort (River facing rooms are very nice) This is not a luxury hotel like Ananda but small hotel close to the market and sightseeing spots. Evening you can walk in market and visit Beaches at Ganga. Take guide if you are new to india.

Day 2: Check out from hotel and visit Mansa Devi Temple by cable car ride. Later you can transfer to Ananda. On the way visit Jain temple and shanti kunj Ashram. Go to Ananda. Relax enjoy spa.

Day 3: Afternoon Rishikesh sightseeing (Dont miss Lakshman Jhula) with Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan.

Day 4: Devprayag and Vashstha Cave visit. Devprayag is place which is where river officially named Ganga. All the way you can see mountains and ganga.

Day 5: Visit Kunjapuri Temple. It has good view of mountains. If you want more exploration go up to Dhanaulti - Surkanda Devi Temple.

There are various options around Rishikesh for a day trip which include white water rafting, day hikes and sighseen of some spiritual places which may offer a Great Views of the Himalayas.
For valley of flowers you need atleast 5 -6 days. And the best time to visit the valley is in July and August which is the blooming time for the flowers. But it is also the heavy monsoon period in the area.
Shimla is not a near destination. You need atleast 6-7 hours from Rishikesh. May be on google its shows 5 hours but Indian road conditions can make it long may be 10 hours. You never know. If you plan to visit that place than I will suggest you to be there atleast 4 days.
Thanks!
