About Rishikesh
Discover Rishikesh – The Land of Spirituality and Adventure
Historically, Rishikesh has been a magnet for many yogis, rishis, sages, and sannyasis, drawn to its serenity for yoga practice. This has earned it the title of the “Yoga Capital of the World.” Every March, Rishikesh hosts a week-long International Yoga Festival. The city is also a gateway to the Char Dham, which consists of four popular holy temples on the hills: Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri.
