Evening Walking Tour of Rishikesh

The sacred River Ganges in the light of the moon, a tranquil calm settled over busy city streets, the glow of lamps within the temples... Explore a different side of Rishikesh on this evening walking tour of the city.

Itinerary

As the sun begins to set, you'll begin your walking tour of Rishikesh at nightfall, meeting at the Parmarth Niketan Ashram, the city's largest ashram with more than one thousand rooms. Here, students live alongside their spiritual teachers to learn Hindu religion and culture and to practice yoga and meditation.

Continue strolling along the banks of the Ganges, passing the Gita Bhawan Temple and the Swarg Ashram. The beautifully illuminated houses and temples, along with the city's atmosphere of peace and spirituality, create a distinctive experience.

You'll then head towards the ancient Maharani Sri Vidyawati Kuor temple, where you'll stop at a viewpoint to enjoy a panoramic view over Rishikesh.

The final stop on your evening walking tour will be the hanging bridge of Lakshman Jhula, a favorite meeting point for locals and one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
