Itinerary
Begin your tour at Ram Jhula, a prominent suspension bridge across the Ganges River. Take in the panoramic views of the river and the surrounding hills.
From Ram Jhula, head towards Sivananda Ashram, which is just a short walk away. This ashram, founded by Swami Sivananda, is known for its serene atmosphere and yoga and meditation programs.
Next, make your way to Parmarth Niketan Ashram, located on the banks of the Ganges. This ashram is famous for its evening Ganga Aarti ceremony, but during the day, you can explore the beautiful gardens, attend spiritual lectures, or simply sit by the river for some quiet contemplation.
After Parmarth Niketan, head towards The Beatles Ashram, also known as Chaurasi Kutia. This abandoned ashram gained fame when The Beatles visited here in the late 1960s. Although it's now in a state of ruins, it's still a fascinating place to explore, with colorful graffiti and a tranquil atmosphere.

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.
