Rishikesh Weekender

Beatle stop. Yoga Central. Haven of white water and holy water.  For almost forever, Rishikesh has been all things to every kind of untraveller. The world flocks here to master asanas and to seek out big answers. Raft along mighty rapids. Gather for treks in the Himalayas. And of course, top all this off with pancakes at one of the great eateries by the Lakshman Jhula.

From bungee to enlightenment, there’s something for everyone in this storied temple town by the sacred Ganga. And it certainly helps that it is set amidst epic forested hills.
