    Begin your trip by checking in to the Parmarth Niketan Ashram, which is located on the banks of the Ganges. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and soak in the spiritual atmosphere. Attend the morning Yoga session, followed by a healthy breakfast. Spend the afternoon visiting the Beatles Ashram, where you can see the artwork and murals made by the Beatles, and explore the meditation caves.

    Wake up early and take a taxi to the Neer Garh Waterfall. The trek to the waterfall takes around 20 minutes, and it is a sight to behold. Swim in the natural pools and enjoy a picnic lunch. After spending most of the day here, head back to Parmarth Niketan Ashram and relax with an Ayurvedic spa treatment. In the evening, take a stroll on the Lakshman Jhula and watch the sun set over the Ganges.

  3. Day 3: Triveni Ghat and Rajaji National Park

    Start your day by visiting Triveni Ghat, which is the confluence of three holy rivers. Take a dip in the waters of the Ganges and experience the cleansing of the soul. Next, head to Rajaji National Park, which is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including tigers, leopards, and elephants.
