Rishikesh
The yoga capital of the world: suspension bridges, riverside ashrams and the Triveni Ghat aarti.
Rishikesh sits where the Ganga leaves the mountains, a short drive upstream from Haridwar. Walk across Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula, visit the riverside temples and ashrams, and end the day with the aarti at Triveni Ghat or Parmarth Niketan.
It is an easy and rewarding half- or full-day trip from the Kumbh.
Visiting tips
- Check which suspension bridge is open to pedestrians at the time of your visit.
- Traffic between Haridwar and Rishikesh is heavy on snan days—go on a non-snan day.
