God's country, pilgrim's destination or an adventure sports land...people know Rishikesh by many names. A town located on the banks of river Ganges offers you everything. Rishikesh is a small town 50kms from Dehradun and is a perfect destination to cheer up your soul. It has always been a pilgrimage for Hindus but over last decade it has emerged as a adventure sport capital of our country. Be it white water rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking, rappelling, mountain biking you can indulge in all sort of activities. This is not all, the air of Rishikesh and alleys are filled with aroma of incense sticks and sweet mantras coming out from every shop and home touch your soul. There is something in the surroundings that touch your heart and cleanse your soul. You can not miss upon the sunset sitting on the river beach. The evening Aarti at Triveni ghat is equally enthralling. Plus there is a lot more satiate your stomach... all the cafes german bakery, little Buddha , freedom cafe and many more provide you authentic delicacies along the river. And then ashrams and yoga schools to begin a perfect another day....
