Rishikesh, one of the holiest cities in India, located at the foothills of the Himalayas, is a place one goes to in order to gain higher knowledge and to cleanse one’s sins away. Also known as the yoga capital of India, it stands at 372 metres or 1220 feet above sea level. Around the world not only do Indians but foreigners flock to this city to transcend spiritually. Being at close proximity to the River Ganga, a lot of people make this place their final resting place and the place to also let their ancestors find peace, as Ganga is the holiest river in India. So if you’re not only looking at aural cleansing, here are some things you could try out too.

Fun and Peace

 Being so close to the rafting is one of the top things to do in Rishikesh which you must experience in this city. River rafting and tubing will surely thrill you to the bone and help loosen you up before you decide to go looking for nirvana. Another popular sport would be bungee cord jumping. The rush of falling freely from a tall height and then being pulled back up is a different experience certainly. There are also hiking, trekking and backpacking trips organised.

Now coming back to the top things to do in Rishikesh on a more spiritual tone, you go to the River Ganga and offer your prayers there, as it was believed this was where the Goddess Ganga arose from. Another would be to visit the temples here, one of the noted ones being a temple covered in graffiti and messages based on the Beatles. Cleansing or getting away Rishikesh sure is a sponge that attracts people and rids them free of their baggage.
