Places to visit in Rishikesh

Ram Jhula

Ram Jhula

About a few miles south of Laxman Jhula is Ram Jhula, which is in Rishikesh. This bridge is built in the same way as Laxman Jhula, but it was built in 1980, a bit later than the other span. It is a place that should not be missed in Rishikesh because of its breathtaking views. You’ll be able to see the Himalayas above the clouds and the Ganga River rushing down when the weather is clear, as you use this bridge. It’s worth including in your shots as Rishikesh isn’t short of beautiful places. People also talk about the Rishikesh bridge because it unites two famous ashrams in the village – Swarg Ashram on one edge and Sivananda Ashram on the other.

Laxman Jhula

One of the main attractions in Rishikesh, Laxman Jhula, is a long suspension bridge at a height of 70 feet above the river. The bridge from 1939 is considered meaningful as people believe Lord Laxman crossed the Ganga River with the help of a jute rope on the same spot. Travelers will find Laxman Jhula among the top attractions in Rishikesh. Many cafes can be spotted on every side of the bridge, but the popular places you shouldn’t miss are the Laxman Temple and the Tera Manzil Mandir. The view and fresh air are worth spending your time on, so this is something you won’t regret.

Neelkanth Mahadev Temple

Neelkanth Mahadev Temple

Only 30 km from Rishikesh, this temple is considered a major pilgrimage site for Lord Shiva’s followers in Rishikesh. In Hindu mythology, people believe that Lord Shiva drank the venom ‘Halahal’, and the temple was built on the same spot after the ocean was churned for the elixir of life. As well as this, the temple includes a freshwater spring where people take a blessing bath. Rishikesh is renowned among religious destinations, and this spot is number one for spiritual encounters.

Parmarth Niketan

Parmarth Niketan is one of the leading places in Rishikesh for anyone enthusiastic about yoga. Situated in India, this revered ashram was established in 1942, and since then, it has turned into one of the biggest spiritual centers, calling seekers and worshippers from around the world. Sitting by the Ganges, it gives worshipers a peaceful area to do yoga, meditate, and learn about spirituality. Because of its calming surroundings and busy community, Parmarth Niketan helps everyone who stays to grow spiritually and be healthy.

Triveni Ghat

Triveni Ghat

It is a favorite spot in Rishikesh that people like to visit, especially to enjoy the Ganga Aarti in the evening. The Ghat is considered respected because legend states that it gathers the waters of the three large rivers – Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. It is believed by Hindus that dipping in the holy waters near the ghat can cleanse your sins. To put it simply, our great epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata, also talk about this holy ghat. Going to this ghat during evenings is a great choice, especially to experience the beauty of the Aarti.
