Rishijesh retains the WordPress spelling used by this collection and refers to Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. The Ganges runs through the town beneath forested hills, shaping both its spiritual identity and outdoor life.
Yoga and the Ganges
Ashrams, meditation, yoga and evening river ceremonies draw visitors from around the world. Thoughtful guiding helps distinguish meaningful local traditions from the more commercial side of the town.
Into the foothills
Rafting, walking and journeys further into the Himalaya add an active dimension. Rishikesh combines naturally with Haridwar and can serve as a gentle transition from India’s plains into mountain country.
