Rishikesh, the holy land of yoga in northeastern India.
The town is located on the upper reaches of the Ganges River.
The Ganges River has a murky image with all kinds of things flowing through it.
But here you can see the beautiful Ganges River and bathe in it.
It is a calm and quiet town in India.
Here is a look at this town.
If you like yoga, please go there.
(Yoga sanctuary, but not experienced, no photos)
Location of Rishikesh
Rishikesh is a town of about 100,000 people located 240 km northeast of the capital Delhi.
If you fly, it takes one hour from Delhi to Dehradun airport. From there, it is about 20 km to the town of Rishikesh.
Buses leave from the town of Haridwar, just before Rishikesh.
I took a train to Haridwar, but Indian trains are just so cheap!
If you are going during the year-end or New Year’s holidays, you should make reservations early because trains within India are very crowded.
Reservations can be made online, even from outside India.
Ganges River
- Upstream, you can bathe in the Ganges River.
- It is difficult to relax on the riverbanks because of the pushback from children.
- It’s cold there in winter.
The water is clean because it is located upstream of the Ganges River.
There are wild monkeys and abundant nature.
Everyone wants to relax on the riverbanks, but kids are selling flowers and all sorts of things.
They would throw flowers into the river without asking for them and ask for money.
If you don’t pay, they may chase you for a while.
There are many cafes along the river, so it is best to relax there.
The view of the Ganges River from above is green.
The town of Rishikesh
Ashrams are places for yoga lessons and are located throughout the town.
There are also many cafes and restaurants along the river.
Relaxed atmosphere in India.
Cafe [Pure soul]
Unlike the riverbanks, you can relax at the café.
Although not along the river, the cafe here has wifi and the seats by the wall are comfortable with power outlets.
You can stay longer in the spacious area.
There is also terrace seating, from which the view of the mountains is nice.
The set meal is expensive, about 1,000 Japanese yen (Approx. 8 $.) .
But it is hearty and comes with a chocolate dessert.
It tastes good and is fully satisfying.
Finally.
Rishikesh can be enjoyed just by strolling along the banks of the Ganges River.
If you are tired of the noisy Indian city, this is the place for you.
In addition, you can experience yoga here, a sacred place for yoga.
If you are interested, please visit there.
