Known globally as the Yoga Capital of the World, Rishikesh draws travelers seeking both spiritual retreat and adrenaline in equal measure. The Ganges River anchors the town's identity, from the evening Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat and Parmarth Niketan to white-water rafting rapids just upstream. Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula's iconic suspension bridges connect ashrams, temples, and riverside cafés, while the historic Beatles Ashram draws music pilgrims tracing the band's 1968 visit. As a gateway to the Char Dham Yatra, Rishikesh also serves as a launch point for Uttarakhand's broader pilgrimage circuit.
