Hi Priya, Hope you're doing well I'm planning a quick weekend getaway to Rishikesh from 20th to 22nd June, and I'd love for you to join me. It'll be the perfect break from our busy schedules. Details of the getaway: We'll leave Delhi early Saturday morning and stay at a riverside resort for 2 nights. The weather is pleasant there now, and the place is surrounded by hills and the Ganga. We'll be back by Sunday evening. Activities: I've planned river rafting on Saturday afternoon and a sunrise trek to Kunjapuri Temple on Sunday. Arrangements: I've already booked a twin-sharing cottage, so you just need to pack light. We'll take my car and split the fuel cost. Take care, [Your Name]
