Rishikesh is a small town in the northern state ofUttarakhandin India.

Scenically located where the Ganges River comes down from the Himalayas,

Rishikesh catapulted to Western fame when the Beatles dropped by for a visit

to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram (now closed), and the town is still known

as the World Capital of Yoga.

Rishikesh is also the Gateway to the Himalayas. The Char Dham Yatra (Four

Shrines Sacred Journey) ideally begins from Rishikesh.

2/24

[edit]Understand

The center of town where the train and bus stations can be found is of little

interest to most travelers. Further north-east are 2 bridges spanning the

Ganges, Ram Jhula[1]and Lakshman Jhula[2], at either end of these

bridges are the main hubs of activity and interest.

Most accommodation and restaurants can be found near Lakshman Jhula, High

Bank and Swarg Ashram.

[edit]Get in

[edit]By plane

Rishikesh is in close proximity ofDehradun's Jolly Grant Airport (about 15 km)

- a small, quiet and recently renovated airport handling just two flights from

Delhi. The runway is being extended and will possibly then handle flights from

other metros.

[edit]By car

Delhi airport to Rishikesh by car is a good option for a hassle free traveling

specially for foreign tourists who are traveling to India for the first time. It's a 6

to 7 hours journey. Prices vary from US$ 85 for an air conditioned compact car

to US$ 125 for an air conditioned SUV (but rates are much higher if one avails

these services from prepaid taxi booths located at the airport).

[edit]By train

A quiet branch line connects Rishikesh toHaridwar, but there are only about

three slow trains daily. It is better to take the train to Haridwar and continue by

bus (45 min, Rs.30), by taxi (30 min, Rs.800) or by shared auto-rickshaw (40

min, Rs.35). However, travelling by train is recommended in peak seasons or

during a 'mela' (fair) when bus routes are diverted in Haridwar whereas trains

often run empty and the fares are low (just Rs.4 for a passenger train service).

You can take share rickshaws (vehicle brand name Vikram) towards Lakshman

Jhula (Rs.15) from Rishikesh station. You will have to cross Ram Jhula to reach

Swarg Ashram on the other side of river Ganga. There are many trains from

Delhi to Haridwar. Some of the better are: Shatabadi Express, Jan Shatabdi, AC

Special Express, Mussoorie Express. Travel agents in Swarg Ashram and

Lakshman Jhula can book train tickets for onward journeys; much easier than

going to Rishikesh railway station to buy a ticket. Some may sell you a ticket

from Raiwala, a small stop between Rishikesh and Haridwar, but this station,

[edit]By bus

FromDelhithe city is about 230 km away and is well connected with buses. A

bus journey may take about 5-7 hours - depending on the traffic - and costs you

about Rs 130-350. An AC Bus will cost about Rs 250-700. In Rishikesh, there

are several travel agencies scattered around Swarg Ashram and Lakshman Jhula

that can book luxury buses to common destinations likeDelhi(Rs 250-

700),Jaipur,PushkarandVaranasi. The right time to visit would be February,

March, August-October. In July there is a festival called Saavan where

thousands of people flock to Rishikesh. Major roads are blocked and hotels are

crowded. It is better to avoid travelling to Rishikesh during that time.

[edit]Get around

Auto-rickshaws (vikrams) are useful from the bus/train stations to get to either

of the bridges (Rs 10) and for the southern side of the Ganges. Swargashram is

pretty much pedestrian only, but it's compact and walkable (as is the whole of

the town). For other autorickshaw journeys you should expect to pay around Rs

15/km.

Ganga (Ganges). Season: September-November and March-April-May areideal for rafting. The rafting will go on for several kilometres, and the path

is interspersed with rapids, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5, in order of

difficulty. At the end of the trip, you have the option of jumping some 20

feet from a ledge into the water. There are several local travel agencies,

offering these rafting trips. The package usually includes an overnight

camp on the banks of the river, with a brilliant and dangerous trek among

Camping is a recreational activity that does not have any age limit. Any

individual who likes to explore new places and enjoy the beauty and

serenity of nature can embark on a camping voyage. Camping in Rishikesh

on the Ganga beach offer an environment to wake up with the birds cher

chew and can swim in the fresh water of the river Ganges. Camping in

Rishikesh is a very popular activity.[8]

Rappelling Climbing down with a rope is called rappelling. The group is

taken to a spot where there is a cliff drop, experts with proper equipment

who setup the gear first and then, one by one, everyone comes down. It's

all about trusting your gear and following the instructions and then it's a lot

of fun.

Rock climbing This is something everyone is familiar with, this is also

included in some of the camps but not everyone can do it as it requires a lot

of strength and skill. The group is taken to a cliff side and with proper

safety gear everyone is given a chance to climb the cliff side.

Cliff Jumping You are supposed to jump into freezing water from a cliff!

Yes, it sounds crazy but this is one thing which everyone can brag about

back home, of course you are wearing a life jacket and a helmet but still to

jump from so high into the Ganga which is murky and the bottom can't be

seen, it's not like jumping into a swimming pool where one can see the

bottom the water is static.

Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. Kayaking is

differentiated from canoeing by the fact that a kayak has a closed cockpit

and a canoe has an open cockpit. They also use a two bladed paddle.

Another major difference is in the way the paddler sits in the boat.

Kayakers sit in a seat on the bottom of the boat with their legs extended out

in front of them. Canoeists will either sit on an elevated bench seat or kneel

directly on the bottom of the boat. Whitewater kayaking is the sport of

paddling a kayak on a moving body of water, typically a whitewater river.

Whitewater kayaking can range from simple, carefree gently moving

water, to demanding, dangerous whitewater. One can learn this sport by

taking kayaking courses from[9]

Non-vegetarian food has been banned in the city for many many years. North

and south Indian food is widely available, and there's no shortage of multi-

cuisine backpacker cafes, especially in Lakshman Jhula. What excites many

foreigners is the delicious Ayurvedic and health food restaurants, perfect for an

after-yoga meal. Many of the main lanes are lined with wooden push carts

selling in-season fruit, veggies, Popcorn, nuts, warm cookies and lots else, and

you'll usually be quoted a fair price. The papayas here are particularly delicious.

Try the famous Chotiwali Special / Janata or Delux Thali . Once upon a time it

used to be an unlimited affair but now due to practical constraints the quantity

is limited and extra helpings are charged. There are several eateries offering

jalebis, imartis, samosas, and other Indian snacks. If you haven't heard of these

before, you should definitely try them out.

Mukti's Health Food , (a few hundred metres west of Shivanand Jhula

bridge, overlooking the taxi stand/parking lot). A tiny place in a strange

location, but very popular and excellent food at very reasonable prices.

Homemade green pasta, Indonesian gado-gado, and homemade frozen

yogurt, apple pie or chocolate cake for dessert.

The Welcome Center, (about a 10-15 minute walk towards Haridwar

from the Shivanand Jhula bridge), Hidden down off the road (but

signposted), this is a little oasis of calm from the busy street. Great

Ayurvedic food and teas. They also offer cooking classes, several types of

yoga, etc. and sell natural incense, neti pots, yoga mats and the like. If you

like the atmosphere, enquire about staying here as well.

Shiva-resort, a nice place away from the bustling market of Ram-Jhula

towards Neelkanth road in Jonk village a great place to have organic food

and you also can stay there in a silent and pleasant place.

Chotiwala in Swarg Ashram claims to be the original, and serves up greatIndian food including 5 different thalis. Meals starts from Rs. 100.

[edit][add listing]Drink

Sitting around in dhabas and cafes is nearly mandatory here. In addition to

the old standards like masala chai and lassis you can find a nice range

ofAyurvedic teas. Some restaurants make up their own tonics to treat

anything that may be ailing you.

Lately two Italian style/Seattle style cafes have popped up. Their main

focus is on the coffee.

Alcohol is banned and inappropriate, as Rishikesh is a holy city, although

you can buy beer (8% alc) to your meal in one of the finer hotels.

German Bakery and restaurant is situated at Laxman jhoola is a good place

to visit with its high view over rishikesh and laxman jhoola as well as

bridge and is a common place for foreigners and vistiors to have a relaxing

break.

place to visit. It has a beautiful view and and airy restaurant area to sit and

relax. The food is healthy and fresh and tasty. It is a common place for

foreigners and vistiors to have a calm and quite break. Sitting on the terrace

is another thing that you dont want to miss at "Tripti"

Strawberry lassi, thick fresh Pineapple juice. Drinks are served in 500 ml

Rishikesh is filled almost entirely with budget hotels, with a few mid-range

thrown in for good measure. Lakshman Jhula is popular with backpackers and

has the cheapest accommodation, while Swarg Ashram is where the majority

of the ashrams are located, and is a nice alternative. There's also a handful of

accommodation options in High Bank.
