Useful Tips

If you have more time to explore Rishikesh, consider including some adventure sports such as bungee jumping, river rafting, or zip-lining. On the flip side, if you have fewer hours, cut down a location or two and prioritize the Ganga Aarti experience at Triveni or Parmarth Niketan Ashram.
