5 Days in Uttarakhand
4 Nights / 5 Days

Rishikesh, set in the foothills of the Himalayas on the banks of River Ganga in Uttarakhand is a beautiful city that is both a spiritual and an adventure hub. Known as the Yoga capital of the world, Rishikesh offers diverse spiritual experiences. It is also of immense religious importance as it also the gateway to the sacred pilgrimage for Hindus- the Char Dham Yatra (comprising Gangotri, Badrinath, Yamunotri and Kedarnath). The adventure activities offer an incomparable thrill as the proximity of the mountains and swift flowing Ganga River give ample opportunity of testing your limits. If spirituality and adventure both do not excite, then Rishikesh offers the ultimate getaway in nature’s lap, away from the daily hustle and bustle of the overcrowded cities.

Upon your arrival at Rishikesh, get assisted with check in to the hotel. Relax for the day. If time and energy permits, walk to Triveni Ghat. The revered river ghat in Rishikesh is also a holy bathing spot in the Ganges River.
