Things to Do in Rishikesh

Witness the Ganga Aarti. As dusk falls at Triveni Ghat, lamps, chants and the river come together for one of India's most moving evening ceremonies.

Go white-water rafting. The Ganga's rapids are world-class and beginner-friendly with the right guides - one of the most exhilarating things you can do here.

Practise yoga at sunrise. Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world for a reason. Even a single riverside session at dawn can reset your whole trip.

Cross the iconic bridges and cafés. Walk Laxman Jhula and the Bajrang Setu glass bridge, then café-hop through Tapovan's buzzing lanes.

Explore the quiet side. The Beatles Ashram, forest trails in Rajaji, and hidden sunrise spots reward anyone willing to wander a little further.
