Things that you must know before you visit Rishikesh

Rishikesh is a small settlement in the northern state of Uttarakhand which has been a magnet for spiritual seekers ever since the Beatles rocked up at the ashram of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the late ‘60s. Today, it is well – known as the World Capital of Yoga with masses of ashrams. All kinds of yoga and meditation classes are carried out in the north of the main town, where the superb setting near the fast-flowing Ganges, surrounded by forested hills, is quite encouraging for meditation and yoga. The breeze blows down the valley during the evening and sets the temple bells ringing as spiritual men, pilgrims and travellers prepare for the nightly Ganga Aarti.
