Stunning photos from Rishikesh to inspire your next trip

Summer is here and we are tempted to pack our bags and head to Rishikesh for a quick getaway once again. Is it just us? Even though Rishikesh is not the coldest of places in Uttarakhand, it remains one of the most loved destinations. We have a very good reason to believe it might be the ‘Ganga effect’ (the spirituality) or just the adventure hub that the town is. Whatever it is, the love for Rishikesh is here to stay.

Here, we have picked beautiful photos of Rishikesh to inspire you to plan your next trip to the Yoga Capital of the World.

In Rishikesh, the Ganga River runs through hills, thus carving a very pretty landscape in the process. This makes the town of Rishikesh one of the favourite mountain getaways in India.

Rishikesh is your typical riverside destination. The mornings and evenings are always breezy and the gurgling waters of the Ganga River are always a welcoming sound.

Lakshman Jhula, though it is closed due to safety reasons right now, is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Rishikesh.

Ram Jhula is a suspension bridge across the Ganga River, and is one of the busiest bridges in Rishikesh. Thousands of people cross the bridge daily to visit the Ganga ghats and to partake in the Ganga aarti.

After Varanasi’s ganga aarti, the Rishikesh aarti is one of the most popular and photographed events in India. It’s a daily event and you must include it in your Rishikesh itinerary.

Rishikesh ghats see some of the largest congregations of pilgrims. From active prayer sessions to pilgrims sitting quietly in meditation, you’ll find them all here.

It is the largest non-denomination ashram in Rishikesh. The ashram also hosts the annual week-long International Yoga Festival (March 8-14, 2023).

Rishikesh is one of the favourite adventure destinations in India. The town is wildly popular for white river rafting. It starts from Shivpuri and ends at Lakshman Jhula.

Rishikesh is not called the Yoga Capital of the World for nothing. Yoga enthusiasts come to Rishikesh from all over the world to learn and understand yoga.
