About Rishikesh
Yoga Capital of the World and gateway to the Char Dham. Rishikesh blends Ganga aarti at Triveni Ghat with India's highest bungee jump (83m at Jumpin Heights), white-water rafting through Grade 3–5 rapids, and world-renowned yoga ashrams.
The city straddles the Ganges as it exits the Himalayas, creating a unique energy that attracts spiritual seekers and adrenaline junkies alike. From the Beatles Ashram to the roaring rapids of Shivpuri, every corner holds something extraordinary.
