About Rishikesh
Rishikesh is a Himalayan foothill town where the Ganges leaves the mountains, known for yoga ashrams, suspension bridges and white-water rafting.
Rishikesh lies in Uttarakhand, where the Ganges runs fast and green out of the Himalayan foothills and onto the plains. It is a pilgrimage town as well as a centre for yoga and meditation. The Ram Jhula and other suspension footbridges cross the river between temples, cafés and ashrams, and the Beatles studied meditation at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram here in 1968; its weathered buildings stand in the forest today.
