Welcome to the Yoga Capital of the World
Rishikesh sits quietly along the Ganga, surrounded by green hills and clear air. Ashrams, temples, cafés, and suspension bridges give the town its unique character. You’ll see people practicing yoga by the river in the morning, rafting groups during the day, and evening aarti lighting up the ghats after sunset. Rishikesh is perfect if you’re looking for spirituality, nature, adventure, or simply a peaceful break from city life.
Must-Visit Attractions in Rishikesh
Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula
These iconic suspension bridges are among the first places most visitors explore. As you walk across, you get wide views of the river, temples, and hills. Small shops, sadhus, and cafés around the area keep it lively from morning to evening.
Triveni Ghat
Triveni Ghat is the main riverbank where pilgrims take holy dips and perform rituals. The evening Ganga aarti here is one of the most beautiful experiences in Rishikesh. Lamps, chanting, and the sound of flowing water create a very peaceful atmosphere.
Parmarth Niketan Ashram
One of the largest ashrams in Rishikesh, Parmarth Niketan is known for yoga, meditation programs, and daily aarti by the river. Even if you’re not staying here, walking through the campus and sitting quietly by the water feels calming.
Beatles Ashram (Chaurasi Kutia)
Once visited by The Beatles, this old ashram is now an open site with murals, meditation huts, and ruins covered in greenery. It’s great for slow walks, photography, and a bit of nostalgia.
