Things to Do at Rishikesh

There can be no dull days when one makes a plan to visit this pristine town. Do not mistake its serenity for boredom – it is teeming with life and authentic specimens of the culture of this great nation! The 137 m long Lakshman Jhula is a massive mechanical construction that connects the Tapovan and Jonk villages, and is quite the point of interest because of its sheer magnitude and sturdiness. The Ram Jhula, a similar structure only three kilometres away from Lakshman Jhula, and lovingly named after Lord Ram, is also a must-visit if you’re in town. Triveni Ghat, (which is on the bank of the Ganga river) and the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple are beautiful examples of Rishikesh’s spiritual glory and rich history. The evening Maha aarti at the ghat is quite a spectacle and manages to somehow both soothe and energize your senses no matter how many times you witness it. The Kunjapuri Devi Temple and Raghunath temple are also great places to visit if you’re looking for some soul-food. If you’re looking for more contemporary destinations ways to spend your time, places like the Beatles Ashram (Chaurasi Kutiya) and adventure sports like the ones available at river rafting camps await you here! Offering something for everyone, Rishikesh is quite the package. Moreover, the diversity of places to lodge here, ranging from ashrams to top-tier hotels and a variety of hostels makes it perfect for your budget too.

• Flight – Traveling from Delhi to Rishikesh by plane or flight is actually one of the most popular ways of getting to this city. There are short and efficient daily flights from Delhi to Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport which take no more than an hour or one hour and fifteen minutes, at max. Once you reach the Jolly Grant Airport, it is very easy to make your way from there to Rishikesh via taxi. In fact you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that the airport is much closer to Rishikesh than it is to Dehradun, i.e. 21 km away. It should take you no more than half an hour to forty five minutes. You just need to specify whether you’d like to go to Lakshman Jhula or Ram Jhula, and you should be there in no time.
• Taxi | Cab – If you’re choosing to travel from Delhi to Rishikesh by taxi, the most obvious option is to take a cab from the Delhi airport, but that is quite an extravagant option. Outstation cabs or pre-arranged transportation is a much cheaper and more feasible option. It will take you about 6-8 hours (max.) to get to Rishikesh via cab or taxi. The ride is mostly smooth, with a nice change in scenery to look forward to.
