Placed firmly on the map by John Lennon and the Beatles after their visit to attend a Transcendental Meditation Session in the 1960s, Rishikesh is now a magnet for those looking for unsurpassed yoga instruction and all things spiritual. The setting, on the banks of the Ganges River and surrounded by lush hills and tinkling temple bells, is magical and a divine intensity is almost immediately apparent. Once you’ve perfected your downward dog and taken in some of the famed temples (be warned – the crowds may test out your newly discovered inner calm), try your hand at some world-class rafting on the Ganges. Then, check straight in to one of the uber-luxe spa retreats that have recently appeared on the scene and soothe those aching muscles.
