Tour description
Rishikesh is one of the holiest cities in India and the self-styled 'yoga capital of the world', a serene town where the sacred Ganges emerges from the Himalayan foothills. Famous for its ashrams, ghats and suspension bridges, it draws pilgrims and seekers from around the globe. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its spiritual side.
You will cross the famous suspension bridges over the Ganges, visit riverside ghats and temples, and hear about yoga, the sacred river and the Beatles' famous visit. Along the way you will take in the peaceful Himalayan setting. Serene and spiritual, Rishikesh is a wonderful town to explore on foot.
