Ram Jhula,Laxman Jhula,innumerable temples,yoga,river rafting,bungee jumping etc etc.This small city in Uttarakhand has so many things to offer!!!
And that's why it has to be in my wishlist!!!We reached at 8 am in the morning.Our hotel was booked right in the centre of the city.The view from the window was scenic.After breakfast, we headed to Ram Jhula.It's a bridge from where you can see Ganga flowing both sides.Well you need to be there to enjoy the beauty.Green water all around...
Next we visited Neelkanth Mahadev Temple.This city is also known as gateway to Char Dham.If you love Yoga,this city is for you.Rishikesh is also called International Yoga Capital.Next in line was Rishikund where you can enjoy hot water spring.It's a part of Raghunath Temple and you can try your luck at photography as well!!!
Day 2
Well we kept our second day for adventure.There are many tourist guides around who will arrange your river rafting experience. The standard rate is 1000 per person.I was very scared.Scared to another level.We decided to do 14 km journey.You can go for 21 km also.
An experience of lifetime.When you are in middle of water and you know that only way to remain alive is to sail through!!!!
Thrilling....By the way there are categories of rapids and you will also have a Maggi point.At Maggi point,you can try bungee jumping as well.Though we were staying in a hotel,you can also try for camps.I am sure sleeping under the stars must have it's own charm.It took 3 hours for us to complete river rafting and we reached Laxman Jhula.
After the adventure,it was time to eat.You can try Chaat here which was delicious.
Next morning we left the city with beautiful memories and Yes Rishikesh we will be back again!!!
