Category: Rishikesh / Uttarakhand Hills

Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world and the gateway to the Char Dham pilgrimage — a city at the confluence of the Ganga and the foothills of the Himalayas where ashrams, adventure sports, and ancient temples share the same riverbanks. Beyond the famous suspension bridges and the Triveni Ghat evening aarti, the Uttarakhand hills stretching from Rishikesh offer the wild, forested landscape that the city itself can no longer provide: the Ganga in its clear, turquoise high-altitude form, the forest trails and fruit orchards, and the silence of a valley that has not yet been fully claimed by tourism.
