Chasing serenity along the Ganges in Rishikesh

Day 1

We shared our journey from Delhi in the late evening and reached Rishikesh by the next morning.

We visited Tapovan Ghat to witness the holy Ganga and take a dip. We were able to see Laxman Jhula and Tera Manzila Temple from a distance.

From Tapovan Ghat, we crossed the Ganga River by boat and reached Tera Manzila Temple, a 13-story Shiva temple. From the top, we enjoyed an amazing view of the Ganga River flowing through the valley and the city of Rishikesh.

On our second day in Rishikesh, we sought adventure with river rafting. Starting from Shivpuri, we navigated through 16 km of thrilling rapids, concluding the rafting journey near Tapovan Ghat. It was truly an exhilarating experience.

Monument

In the afternoon, we visited Ram Jhula. This 450ft long suspension bridge spans the holy Ganges River, connecting Shivananda Nagar in the west to Swargashram in the east.

After crossing Ram Jhula, we reached Parmarth Niketan, the largest ashram in Rishikesh. Sharing divine knowledge of Yoga and Ayurveda for over 70 years, Parmarth Niketan is renowned for its Hawan on Parmarth Ghat and Maha Aarti at dawn and dusk.
