A yoga capital where ashrams line the Ganges the way cafes line other rivers, whitewater rafting on the same holy water pilgrims bathe in further downstream, and a suspension bridge crossing that counts as a rite of passage for every visitor.
The best time to visit Rishikesh is Sep–Nov, Feb–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (85°F).
