Rishikesh Tours

Rishikesh is a holy city for Hindus and a famous centre of pilgrimage. It is known as the gateway to the Himalayas and is located 25 km away from Haridwar. Rishikesh is the starting point for traveling to the sites that form the Char Dham pilgrimage — Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. The sacred river Ganga flows through the city. In fact, it is here that the river leaves the Shivalik mountains Himalayas, and flows out into the plains of northern India. Several temples can be found along the banks of the Ganges. Sometimes nicknamed "the world-capital of Yoga", it has numerous yoga centres.
