About Rishikesh
Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, sits where the Ganges leaves the Himalaya. White-water rafting from Shivpuri, India's highest bungee jump, sunrise yoga by the river and the evening aarti at Triveni Ghat make it equally loved by adventure seekers and spiritual travelers. The iconic Lakshman Jhula area is packed with cafés and ashrams.
