Itinerary
About this Rishikesh escape
Two unhurried nights on the Ganga’s banks give you space for ghats, cafés, short treks to a waterfall, and the iconic evening aarti—without the rush of a longer multi-town circuit.
Must-do experiences
- Triveni Ghat aarti — chants, lamps, and river breezes at a gentler pace than the busiest Haridwar crowds.
- Jhula crossings — Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula for views, pilgrims, and riverside energy.
- Neer Garh waterfall — a short trek and photo-friendly cascade when you want nature over ashram time.
- Riverside cafés — slow coffee at Little Buddha, Bistro Nirvana, or German Bakery when you want a break between walks.
Local flavours to try
- Aloo ke gutke with hill chai after a morning walk.
- Kafuli or palak preparations in local kitchens for a wholesome lunch.
- Fresh jalebis or kachoris near the markets on select mornings—ask your coordinator for hygienic picks.
Planning notes
- Start slow on day one after the drive from NCR; hydration helps more than heavy meals before gentle activity.
- Respect ashram silence zones, dress modestly at religious sites, and keep valuables minimal on ghats.
- Optional rafting or yoga studio passes can be added locally subject to season, flow, and availability.
