Rishikesh in a day — yoga or rafting, not both

Pre-dawn

If yoga: Parmarth Niketan 6am yoga session on the ghats (₹300 donation, non-residents welcome). If rafting: book for a 9:30am slot the day before — operators pick up from your hotel.

Morning

Ram Jhula + Lakshman Jhula area walks. Swarg Ashram side has the classic Rishikesh vibe — sadhus, cafes, spiritual bookshops. Pro-tip: the old Lakshman Jhula was closed in 2019 (structural damage); a new Bajrangi Setu bridge is now the pedestrian crossing. Triveni Ghat (2km south) has morning Ganga aarti at sunrise.

Midday

The Beatles Ashram (Chaurasi Kutia) — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's abandoned ashram where the Beatles stayed Feb–Apr 1968. ₹150 Indians / ₹600 foreigners entry. 2 hours wandering the graffiti-covered meditation pods. Lunch at Little Buddha Cafe or Pyramid Cafe with river views.

Afternoon

If not rafting: Neelkanth Mahadev temple (32km, 1h drive up — Shiva temple at 1330m, spectacular setting, closed Mondays). Or stay in town for Sivananda Ashram library + evening walk.

Evening

Parmarth Niketan Ganga aarti at sunset (6–7pm depending on season). Free but arrive 30 min early for seated front rows. Ram Jhula market food stalls for dinner — limited non-veg availability in the old town.

itinerary.badWeather

Monsoon (Jul–mid-Sep) the Ganga is in spate and rafting is prohibited — the river is genuinely dangerous then. Yoga, ashram visits, Beatles Ashram, Triveni Ghat aarti all work in rain. Indoor options are limited — Rishikesh is an outdoor-focused destination. If stuck: Dehradun (45km, 1h) has more indoor culture.

itinerary.threeDayHeading

दिन 1Arrival + Ganga aarti

Afternoon

Arrive from Dehradun (45km, 1h) or Haridwar (25km, 45 min). Check in at Swarg Ashram / Lakshman Jhula / Tapovan (3 main tourist clusters — pick based on vibe: Swarg Ashram = spiritual, Lakshman Jhula = backpacker, Tapovan = yoga-focused).

Evening

Parmarth Niketan aarti. Dinner.

दिन 2Rafting day

Morning

Rafting 9:30am–1pm. Standard Shivpuri-to-NIM run is 16km, Class II-III rapids, 3 hours on water. Book with RTCMA-certified operators only (Red Chilli Adventures, Aquaterra, Wanderland — all have long safety records). Cost ₹800–1500/person depending on operator.
