Rishikesh
Uttarakhand · Yoga & the Ganges
RishikeshRishikesh sits where the Ganges rushes out of the Himalayan foothills onto the plains, and it's built its identity almost entirely around that river — riverside ashrams, an internationally known yoga scene, and whitewater rafting through the rapids upstream.
The evening Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat and Parmarth Niketan is a genuinely moving sight, and the town's two suspension bridges, Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula, are worth simply walking across at any time of day.
March to June and September to November for comfortable temperatures and good rafting water levels.
A 5–6 hour drive from Delhi, or a short flight to Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport followed by a short transfer.
