Triveni Ghat is a sacred bathing spot where three rivers - Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati - converge. It is believed that taking a dip in the holy water cleanses one's sins. Every evening, a mesmerizing Ganga Aarti is performed here, where people offer lamps and flowers to the river amidst chanting of mantras and ringing of bells. Witnessing the ceremony is an unforgettable experience.
Beatles Ashram, officially known as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram, was once the residence of the legendary British rockers, who came here in 1968 to learn Transcendental Meditation from the famous Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The abandoned complex has now become a popular tourist attraction filled with colorful graffiti and art installations. Visitors can also attend meditation and yoga sessions organized by local groups.
If you want to escape the city's chaos and be one with nature, head to Neer Garh Waterfall. Surrounded by lush green forests and hills, the pristine waterfall offers a refreshing dip and a picnic spot. You can also try cliff jumping or hike to the hilltop for breathtaking views of the valley.
If you have extra time, you can also visit Ram Jhula and Parmarth Niketan. If you have less time, skip Beatles Ashram or Neer Garh Waterfall. Wear comfortable shoes as some places require a short hike. Carry a water bottle and sunscreen.
