Explore the famous temples, ghats, and ashrams of Rishikesh in just one day. Not to forget, you’ll also witness the famous Ganga Aarti. This full-day guided cultural sightseeing tour offers a captivating opportunity to experience Rishikesh, a sacred city nestled in the Himalayas along the banks of the Ganges River.

Some of the highlights include Triveni Ghat, one of the most revered ghats in Rishikesh, known for its spiritual and religious importance. Bharat Mandir, an ancient temple just a short distance away, is another significant religious site in the city.

At The Divine Life Society (Sivananda Ashram), you’ll have the chance to explore the ashram, visit its library, and, if available, attend yoga or meditation sessions.

Walk across Ram Jhula, enjoy panoramic views of the Ganges, and browse the nearby market. Laxman Jhula, another iconic suspension bridge, is also a major attraction. Spend some time here enjoying the scenery, visiting nearby temples, and exploring local shops.

You’ll also visit Parmarth Niketan Ashram, where you can explore the ashram’s serene campus and, if available, join any ongoing activities or classes.

A key highlight of this tour is the Ganga Aarti, a mesmerising ritual of worship performed every evening on the banks of the holy Ganges, most famously at Parmarth Niketan Ashram. Priests chant mantras, sing bhajans, light oil lamps (diyas), and make offerings to Mother Ganga, revered as the goddess of purity and life in Hinduism.
