Rishikesh Tourist Spots

Here are a few of the top sightseeing spots in Rishikesh:

1. Triveni Ghat: - One of the top attractions in Rishikesh is Triveni Ghat. Because the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati—the three most sacred rivers in Hindu mythology—converge at this ghat, it is regarded as the holiest of all the ghats. Pilgrims often take holy dips in this ghat.
2. Shivpuri: - River rafting is one of the most thrilling water adventure activities in Rishikesh, and Shivpuri is the perfect site to do it! This settlement is situated on the banks of the Ganga River, 19 kilometres from Rishikesh. This town is bustling with outdoor enthusiasts and is a centre for river rafting. Activities like kayaking, trekking, camping, and boating are also interesting.
3. Lakshman Jhula: - The villages of Tapovan in Tehri Garhwal district and Jonk in Pauri Garhwal district are connected by the well-known Lakshman Jhula, a hanging bridge across the Ganga River. The bridge, 70 feet above the river and 450 feet long, is located in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand.
4. Neelkanth Mahadev Temple: - One of the holiest Hindu temples devoted to Lord Shiva is Neelkanth Mahadev Temple, which is situated around 7 kilometres from Swarg Ashram in Rishikesh in the Pauri Garhwal area of Uttarakhand. The temple is exceptionally significant as it is thought that Lord Shiva swallowed the poison halahala while the ocean was churning, turning his throat blue and giving him the name Neelkanth.
5. The Beatles Ashram: - Located on a cliff in the Swarashram near Rishikesh, the Beatles Ashram is also called Chaurasi Kuti. The ashram complex includes a former temple, library, kitchen, Maharishi Yogi's home, and meditation huts. The Beatles lived there in 1968, wrote dozens of songs, and meditated there.
6. Vashishta Gufa: - The human son of Lord Brahma, Sage Vashishta, meditated in the ancient cave known as Vashishta Gufa. According to a narrative, the sage was so upset after losing all of his children that he considered suicide, but the Ganga River prevented him from doing so. Thus, he decided to remain and practice meditation in the cave.
