Recommendations

Make sure to visit The Rajaji National Park that is located about 18 kilometers from Rishikesh. It boasts lush forests, rivers, and an abundance of wildlife. For adventure seekers, try white water rafting on the Ganges, bungee jumping, and cliff diving. For those who want a more relaxing and rejuvenating experience, try an Ayurvedic massage or therapy at an Ayurvedic center.

For those who have more than two days in Rishikesh, take a trip to Haridwar, a nearby city that is famous for its religious significance and ancient temples. You can also visit Dehradun, the capital city of Uttarakhand, which is surrounded by beautiful hills and offers stunning views of the Himalayas.

Finally, maximize your fun by immersing yourself in the local culture, visiting local markets, and trying street food. Rishikesh is known for its vibrant and lively atmosphere with plenty of things to discover.
