Tour description
Rishikesh is one of India's holiest cities and is renowned as the 'Yoga Capital of the World' – a peaceful town where the sacred Ganges River emerges from the Himalayan foothills. Famous for its ashrams, riverside ghats, and suspension bridges, it attracts pilgrims and spiritual seekers from all over the globe. On this walking tour, a local guide will unveil the city's profound spiritual side.
You will cross the iconic suspension bridges over the Ganges, visit temples and riverside ghats, and hear stories about yoga, the sacred river, and the Beatles' famous visit. Along the way, you will soak in the serene Himalayan scenery. Both peaceful and deeply spiritual, Rishikesh is a wonderful town to explore on foot.
