One of the most well-liked pilgrimage locations in Uttarakhand is Rishikesh. The town gets tourists from across the globe throughout the year. It has the spotless Ganga and the beautiful Himalayas flowing through it. The term "capital of yoga" is widely used to describe Rishikesh, and for good reason. People everywhere come to the place to practice yoga and meditate. The straight flow of the potent Ganges through the city highlights the natural splendor of Rishikesh. Its setting at the foot of the majestic Garhwal Himalayas only accentuates it. The picture-perfect town appears oddly balanced between the lovely riverside promenades, huge wooded areas, green mountains, and the pure blue skies. 

Thousands of people visit to study and discover the stories' histories. One of Rishikesh's most remarkable architectural achievements is Ram & Lakshman Jhula. Over 750 feet of the Ganges River are covered by these suspension bridges. Many ashrams in this area guide visitors into the spiritual realm of old-school yoga, meditation, and relaxation techniques like vipassana.

The places to visit in Haridwar also include Rishikesh, which is nearby. The city not only offers temple tours but also various adventures and activities. You get thrilling activities such as cliff jumping, surfing, kayaking, bungee jumping, etc. If you wish to escape civilization and appreciate nature at its most untainted, you can find lovely waterfalls here, like Patna Fall and Neer Garhi Fall. If you consider yourself spiritual, you must see the magnificent show of the Maha Aarti.
