Reviews

Uttarakhand, India

Rishikesh is in the northern state of Uttarakhand in India. Scenically located where the Ganges River comes down from the Himalayas, Rishikesh is known as the World Capital of Yoga.


The 2 bridges just outside of town which cross the Ganges, Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula, are where all the action happens.

There is plenty to immerse yourself in in this holy city. Take a dip in the Ganges, with her healing powers, check into a retreat to immerse in yoga, meditation, wellness and Hindu philosophy. Or try White Water Rafting or Cliff Jumping if you feel adventurous.

There are lot of soft treks available around Rishikesh, some of them take you to beautiful and hidden waterfalls. There are also caves, temples, ashrams, local towns and markets. There are many wonderful places to eat and savour Indian cuisine and a hot fresh cup of chai tea. 

Rishikesh is in close proximity of Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport [15 kms]. There are multiple daily direct flights from Delhi which is the nearest international airport.
