About Rishikesh

Rishikesh, the 'place of the sages' is a celebrated spiritual town located on the banks of the Ganga, surrounded by Shivalik range of the Himalayas on three sides. It is believed that when Raibhya Rishi undertook rigorous penance, God appeared in the form of "Hrishikesh" and this area henceforth came to be known as Rishikesh. It is the starting point for the Hindu Char Dham pilgrimage, including Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, to seek spiritual salvation.

Rishikesh is an ideal destination not only for pilgrims but also for those who want to delve deeper into meditation, yoga and other aspects of ancient practices.
Rishikesh is also called the "Yoga capital of the world". For the adventurous, Rishikesh is the place for starting their trekking expeditions and excursions towards the Himalayan peaks.

The International Yoga week, which attracts participation from all across the world, is held here every year from February 2 to 7 on the banks of river Ganga.

Fall In Love With Rishikesh While You Fall From 83 Meters

  Bungee jumping is one of the most extreme sports worldwide. It is a breathtaking activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. Generally, in Bungee, you are fitted with a seat & chest harness. This is connected to the fixed wire ropes that keep you from falling down on the surface. When a person jumps, they are lowered to the ground and slowly the cord stretches and flies upwards again and this continues until all the energy degenerates.   India’s first and the highest Bungee jumping platform is located in Rishikesh which is 83 meters high above the ground. Since they follow safety standards similar to New Zealand and Australia, safety provided is exceptional and excellent, thus, making the whole experience absolutely memorable. It is located at a distance of 20 Kms from Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. After the Bungee, you can move to the cafeteria, which is a 15-20 minute walk from the recovery point. Moreover, they offer their services at an affordable price.  If you are planning to try out this thrilling activity, here is the complete guide for you.
