4 Star Hotels in Rishikesh

 

From a Spiritual Land to an Adventure Capital - Visit Rishikesh to Experience a holistic sojourn

 

Perched at the foothills of the Himalayas of the Garhwal region, the pristine valley of Rishikesh marks the confluence of the Chandrabhaga and Ganga. Literally translated as the ‘Place of Sages’, the spiritual town of Rishikesh is not only popular amongst spiritual seekers and meditation practitioners but is also gaining popularity as the ‘Adventure Capital of India’. Majorly known as a quaint religious town, Rishikesh catapulted to western fame when the famous group of Beatles dropped by to visit Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Ashram in Rishikesh. Featuring small ashrams, ancient temples and the Ganga flowing across the town, Rishikesh has also become a popular spot for adventure treks and white-water rafting among adrenaline junkies. 

 

Rishikesh is increasingly becoming a favourite destination among all kinds of travellers. If you are visiting Rishikesh as a spiritual and meditating hub, your ideal itinerary must include places like Bharat Mandir, Neelkantha Mahadeva Temple, Tera Manzil Temple and Raghunath Temple among others. The evening Arati at Triveni Ghat is a sight to behold – the chants, the sound of drums and bells, bhajans and the huge oil lamps render an electrifying and hypnotising feel at the same time. Another important tourist attraction, the Lakshman Jhula, is a suspension bridge that not only bears mythological connotation but is also a centre around which grand temples and markets have sprung up. Several renowned ashrams such as Parmath Niketan and Swarg Ashram are popular among travellers inclined to learn meditation and yoga. Nature lovers must also include Rajaji National Park in their itinerary.  Adventure freaks must visit places like Shivpuri or Kaudiyala to explore myriad adventure activities ranging from river rafting to bungee jumping, rock climbing, cliff jumping kayaking and several more.
