Hotels in Rishikesh

 

Welcome to the “Yoga Capital of the World”, Rishikesh! 

 

The city is not dedicated to any particular deity or place of worship, rather it is a place for soul searching and trust me when I say that a lifetime is not enough to experience what Rishikesh has to offer.

 

The best way to explore Rishikesh is on foot as it is a hilly town with narrow lanes. If you want to cross the Ganga river, you have to either take a ferry or cross the famous Lakshman or Ram Jhula on foot. Some of the must visit places when you are on a Rishikesh tour are Bharat Mandir, Triveni Ghat, Shivpuri, Parmarth Niketan and Gita Bhawan among others. Also, crossing Lakshman Jhula once or twice a day is inevitable as there are several temples which are located near the jhula. The famous hanging bridge is said to be the one which Lakshman used to cross the Ganga and hence it is named as Lakshman Jhula. Also, one of the most divine experiences here is being a part of the Ganga Aarti as the oil lamps floating on the river is a spectacular sight. You can either plan a morning or evening time to enjoy the aarti. Rishikesh is also a paradise for adventure seekers with interesting trekking, bungee jumping and rafting options. There are a number of local operators who run camps and tours for many such activities.

 

You will be happy to hear that the town is also a shopper’s delight with its busy market lanes selling religious goods, knick-knacks, clothes, jackets, clothes, beautiful idols and much more. As for eating out, almost all restaurants in Rishikesh have a strictly vegetarian menu and some of the famous ones are Chotiwala Restaurant, Hotel The Great Ganga, Suresh Hotel and Madras Cafe.

 

As for accommodation, there are plenty of good hotels in Rishikesh, spanning all categories. You can choose and plan your stay, depending on your budget and requirement.
