It extends residential spaces to over 100 individuals besides free food and other essentials. The ashram also houses a library with a great collection of books related to culture and religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13-rishikund\"><\/span>13.&nbsp;Rishikund<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Rishikund&#8217;, which literally translates to &#8216;Pond of the Sage&#8217;, is a natural hot spring in the city of Rishikesh. Situated in the vicinity of the Triveni Ghat, The spring is said to be the outcome of prayers offered to Goddess Yamuna by a huge number of devotees in the region. On a day with clear skies, the reflection of the nearby Raghunath Temple becomes visible on the water surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14-ram-jhula\"><\/span>14. Ram Jhula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Lakshman Jhula, this is yet another architectural wonder in Rishikesh. Situated just 3 km away from the center of the city, the suspension bridge that stretches nearly 450 meters acts as the major connection between Swarga and Shivananda ashrams. The&nbsp;Shivananda Ashram Divine Life Society put in great efforts to build the bridge back in the 80s. The bridge promises magnificent views of the Ganges, so ensure that you&#8217;re carrying your DSLR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15-gita-bhavan\"><\/span>15.&nbsp;Gita Bhavan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated on the banks of Ganges, the large complex houses an institute that conducts studies and imparts knowledge on Hinduism as a religion. Many cultural and religious events are held here as well. Gita Bhavan also extends accommodation, food, and education to pilgrims who visit the city. Boating facilities are also offered to guests. There&#8217;s also an in-house dispensary that provides ayurvedic medicines based on religious scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16-parmarth-niketan-ashram\"><\/span>16.&nbsp;Parmarth Niketan Ashram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Resting in the lap of the Himalayas amidst lush greenery, this is the largest ashram in the city of Rishikesh. Frequented by followers from all over the world, the ashram is famous for its serene ambiance and surroundings. The ashram has over 1000 rooms offering great accommodation to devotees. The daily curriculum here includes meditation, chants, yoga, spiritual lessons, and singing hymns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17-neer-gaddu-waterfall\"><\/span>17.&nbsp;Neer Gaddu Waterfall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At a distance of 5 km from Lakshman Jhula, this waterfall can be easily accessed via Rishikesh Market. The waters here are pristine, the pools shallow and the surrounding&nbsp;abundantly green. The best thing about the waterfall is that it still remains a hidden gem. The waterfalls prove to be excellent backdrops for photographs. Visiting the falls is sure to induce composure among visitors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18-tera-manzil-temple\"><\/span>18. Tera Manzil Temple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over its thirteen floors, Tera Manzil is sure to make you feel spiritually enlightened. Unlike most other temples in the city, this one enshrines multiple deities attracting all kinds of devotees. The architectural symmetry, pleasing atmosphere, and overall sanctity make this temple a must-visit. You can also enjoy gorgeous views of the landscape from the top floor. The temple is just walking distance away from Lakshman Jhula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19-jumpin-heights-at-mohan-chatti-village\"><\/span>19. Jumpin Heights at Mohan Chatti Village<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Rishikesh offers adventure freaks with plenty of options to let loose, bungee jumping probably tops the list. Jumpin Heights offers visitors excellent options such as flying fox, giant swings and bungee jumping. This is apparently India&#8217;s highest point for bungee jumping. You&#8217;ll have to book in advance to enjoy these activities though. An expert team from New Zealand has helped in setting up the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20-lakshman-temple\"><\/span>20. Lakshman Temple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated to Lord Lakshmana (who is believed to have visited the place to meditate, according to Hindu mythology), the temple positions itself on the banks of the Ganges. The walls and ceilings are adorned with engravings. It is said to be where the Ram-Lakshman brothers came up with a plan to build a jute bridge over the Ganges. There are many sculptures and paintings here that are worth seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21-haridwar\"><\/span>21. Haridwar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At a distance of about 20 km from Rishikesh, Haridwar is another major pilgrimage spot in India. Haridwar is where River Ganga makes its descent into the plains. At an altitude of 314 meters, Haridwar acts as a gateway to many other pilgrimage sites such as Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri. Haridwar can be accessed by both road and rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22-brahmapuri\"><\/span>22. Brahmapuri<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rafting point here is the last one to shut down&nbsp;each year. Located about 8 km from the heart of the city, the rafting activity at Brahmapuri is relatively more economical and safer. The four rapids here can be segregated into Grade I &amp; Grade II and are deemed perfect for families and large groups. You can include rafting amongst numerous other fun activities in a package that roughly spans a couple of hours. Camping, bonfire, cliff jumps, and volleyball are some of the available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"23-raghunath-temple\"><\/span>23. Raghunath Temple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The temple has been dedicated to Lord Ram and his consort Sita. The temple houses the Rishikund &#8211; the point where the rivers Ganga and Saraswathi collide. It is believed that Lord Ram took a bath at the tank (pond) which is located within the temple premises. The temple remains open from 6 AM to 8 PM every day. The interesting aspect of the pond is that it bears a reflection of the temple at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"24-shatrughna-temple\"><\/span><strong>24. Shatrughna Temple<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At a distance of 4 km from the city center, the temple is stationed on the banks of Ganga. Also known by the name &#8216;Aadi Badrinarayan&#8217; temple, this is one of the two temples dedicated to Lord Shatrughna (brother of Lord Ram), the other one being in Thrissur, Kerala.&nbsp;You can club a visit to the Ram Jhula along with this one as they&#8217;re located close to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"25-omkarananda-ashram\"><\/span>25.&nbsp;Omkarananda Ashram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This ashram, stationed at the base of the Himalayas, was founded by&nbsp;Gurudev Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati, a philosopher, and saint. Iyengar Yoga, a form of the discipline where the focus is primarily on the precision of breath control and posture, is practiced here. It also conducts classes on Indian classical music and dance. You can hear prayer chants throughout the day when you visit the ashram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"26-marine-drive\"><\/span>26. Marine Drive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Camping at Marine Drive is said to be one of the most interesting activities to do when you visit Rishikesh. There are tour operators here offer who offer good-quality food, drinking water, and lodging to guests. While the packages often involve adventure activities (such as jungle trekking, cliff jumping, and body surfing), you can also choose to simply relax by the bonfire and listen to travel stories from people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"27-garud-chatti\"><\/span>27. Garud Chatti<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located at a distance of 4 km from Lakshman Jhula, Garud Chatti Falls is a popular halt, especially among foreign tourists. The waterfall is rather small-sized yet a great spot to while away a couple of hours, even as you stay within the city limits. You can get here either via a long walk or a jeep drive. A few tea stalls (serving hot and cold beverages) can be seen on the way to the falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"28-phool-chatti\"><\/span>28. Phool Chatti<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>About 3 km further from Garud Chatti lies another waterfall that is definitely worth a visit. The trekking path to the falls, however, is highly slippery; so we&#8217;d recommend you to be wearing the right kind of footwear and protective gear. Situated on Neelkanth Road, a visit to Phool Chatti and Garud Chatti can actually be combined.&nbsp;Ready your camera for some splendid photography ops too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"29-dehradun\"><\/span>29. Dehradun<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Dehradun needs to be paid a separate visit, we&#8217;d still include it as a part of this list because it&#8217;s less than an hour&#8217;s drive away from Rishikesh. The capital of Uttarakhand is Situated in the Doon valley at the foothills of the Himalayas. With the Yamuna on the west and the Ganga on the east, Dehradun has a tonne of history associated with the two Hindu epics &#8211; Ramayana and Mahabharata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"30-muni-ki-reti\"><\/span>30. Muni Ki Reti<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand, the name translates to &#8216;Sands of the Sages&#8217;. The place is home to a multitude of ashrams, temples and yoga centers. It used to be the meditation spot for&nbsp;sages back in the days. The Rishikesh railway station is located just 3 km away and can be reached&nbsp;through share-autos. Some of the famous ashrams here include Kailash, Swarga, and Shivananda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with this list of 30 places to visit in Rishikesh, we are bound to have missed out on a few offbeat spots or hidden gems located in\/around the city.&nbsp;In case you felt so, let us know in the &#8216;comments&#8217; section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can book a comfortable stay at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/hotels-in-rishikesh\/\">Treebo property in Rishikesh<\/a> when you visit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Situated&nbsp;at the base of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand, Rishikesh is one of the largest cities in India.
