Though Rishikesh is popular all over the world for rafting, many globetrotters don’t know what else they can do here. So, we have jotted down a list of things that tourists can consider including in their travel itinerary during their Rishikesh Tour.

River Rafting

Sightseeing

After savoring adventurous sports to your heart’s content, you can plan to visit the locally famous sites that include:

Triveni GhatRajaji National ParkJumpin HeightsGita BhavanPatna Waterfalls

Meditation

If you are looking to calm your senses in a serene atmosphere, then you must not wait to visit Vashishta Gufa, which belonged to a great sage Vashishta. Some other sites to mediate in the city are Parmarth Niketan, Omkarananda Ganga Sadan, Sanskriti Yogpeeth and Yoga Niketan.

Acquaint with Culture

Don’t just spend time enjoying adventures and sighting popular attractions. Visit local markets, talk to locals and participate in their celebrations to peek into the fabulous culture of the city. If possible, attend evening aarti at Triveni Ghat and marvel at the devotion of natives and other tourists.

Learn Yoga

Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world and leaving this city without learning any yoga postures would be a great miss. We understand that you would not have much time to spend on yoga training but learning some easy yet effective postures would help you fight many body disorders.
