Immerse in divinity
Rishikesh, a small pilgrimage town in Uttarakhand, is a tranquil location cut across by the wide and languid Ganges and blanketed by towering hills. “Yoga Capital of the World” and “Gateway to the Himalayas” are just two of the many monikers given to this scenic destination. Lores have it that many saints and sages have visited here since ancient times to meditate and attain higher knowledge. It is dubbed one of the holiest places to the Hindus. The town catapulted to global fame with the visit of the Beatles to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in the late '60s. Rishikesh attracts both International and Indian travellers throughout the year. Besides being a scenic holiday destination, it thrives on three major tourism themes: Yoga/wellness, rafting camps and spirituality. Rishikesh is undoubtedly the place where one begins the journey to self-discovery.
