Rishikesh Trips & Tours

A temple town of yogis and holistic happenings (and a few ritzy escapes) in the Himalayan foothills.
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.
Things to do

What to do in Rishikesh

Sacred waters thunder through white-water rapids while evening aarti flames dance against Himalayan twilight. In hidden caves where saints once meditated, yogis still pursue enlightenment, while adventure seekers leap from India's highest bungee platform nearby. The Beatles' former ashram stands peaceful yet vibrant with artistic graffiti, as temple bells echo across suspension bridges spanning the emerald Ganges. Whether you're mastering sun salutations in a riverside ashram, spotting wild elephants in Rajaji's forests, or sipping chai in a café playing soft sitar music, this spiritual haven proves that inner peace and adventure can flow together as naturally as the holy river itself.
