Travelogue on - Rishikesh

Factfile - Information: How to reach, what to do etc etc.. Rishikesh

Rishikesh is well connected from Delhi by Road and till Haridwar the journey can be undertaken by train as well. Since the road journey till Haridwar from Delhi is really dismal- i'd recommend taking the train for all fellow tourists. You can easily rent a cab (indica's being the most popular vehicle) for the duration of your stay.

Rishikesh has the unique distinction to offer both spiritual as well adventure options to all genres of travelers. You may try your hand at White Water rafting in Rishikesh, try the exotic world famous Ananda Spa near Rishikesh or simply make the most of the break with your loved piece of literature by the Banks of the Ganges at numerous resorts/camps/ cottages near Shivpuri.

Rishikesh and its nearby locations- Shivpuri, Haridwar have a host of accommodation options for the weary traveller. You may chose from exotic resorts and Spas (like the Ananda) or choose something much lighter on the pocket like a Dharamshala or budget hotels within Rishikesh.

However, given the peaceful and spiritual nature of the destination- I would recommend quieter hotels or resorts which are located away from the main town centre and offer a view of the Ganges- Glasshouse on the Ganges was one such option. Read full Rishikesh
