Rishikesh

Pop: 85,000 Area Code: 01364

Located 24km from Haridwar and 245km northeast of Delhi is Rishikesh, where the clear Ganges leaves the Himalaya Mountains. Rishikesh is a good place to stay for a while during the hot months of April to August. It has a peaceful atmosphere and is a hassle-free place with cheap accommodations and good eating places. It is a recommended place to visit.

Rishikesh is famous as a place to study yoga and meditation, and there are many ashrams here. It is not nearly as crowded with pilgrims as is Haridwar. Many foreigners come here, and many of them stay in ashrams to learn yoga. It became famous when the Beatles came here in the 60s with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

It is said that Bharata, the brother of Lord Rama, did severe penance here. A temple of Bharata was constructed at this site, and the town of Rishikesh grew up around it. The town got its name when Raibhya Rishi performed tapasya (austerities) here. Lord Hrishikesh (another name for Lord Vishnu) came before him and granted him darshan. Lord Vishnu is said to have killed the two demons Madhu and Kaitabha here.

Rishikesh is where most pilgrims begin their Char Dham pilgrimage of going to Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri. Rishikesh is at the meeting point of the Ganges and Chandra­bhaga Rivers.

Orientation
There are three main sections of Rishikesh. There is the downtown area, which is where the bus station, the railway station and several hotels and restaurants are located. The two other areas of town—Swag Ashram (also called Rama or Sivananda Jhula, 1km north), which is located on the eastern side of the Ganges, and Laksman Jhula (2km north)—are much more peaceful and are where most long-term Westerners stay. Most of the religious spots are along the banks of the Ganges between the main area of town and Laksman Jhula.

Information
There is a Tourist Office (30209) on Railway Station Rd. Open Mon to Sat 10 am to 5 pm.
GMVN (30372), Muni-ki-Reti, between the downtown and Shivanand Jhula on Laksman Jhula Rd, runs buses and tours to the pilgrimage places in the north. Open Mon to Sat 10 am to 5 pm; closed 1 to 2 pm.

The main tourist season (especially for Indians) is May and June. September and October are also crowded. During July and August it rains a lot, and from December to early March it is fairly cold. During late March and early April the weather is perfect, warm during the day and cool at night.

Baba Health and Massage Centre (433-339), 100m east of the Hotel Shivlok, near the downtown, offers good Ayurvedic, shiatsu or Swedish massages for Rs 150. The man who does the massages is professional and this place is recommended. You can also take lessons for Rs 1,000 for an hour a day for a week.

Most of the shops in the downtown are closed on Thursday.

Ganga Emporium and Cafe, next to the Laksman Jhula bridge, has a good bookshop with an excellent selection of spiritual books.

Money
The State Bank of India (30114), Railway Station Rd, near the Inderlok Hotel, changes most major travelers cheques. The Bank of Baroda, Dehra Dun Rd, near the Yatra bus stand, changes most travelers cheques. There is no place in the Swag Ashram or Laksman Jhula area where you can change money.

Travel and Trekking Agencies
Blue Hills Travels (431-865), Swarg Ashram area, arranges bus and taxi travel. They may not be totally straightforward in their dealings.
Ajay Travels, Hotel Nilkanth, arranges bus and taxi travel, and treks. Treks start at Rs 350 per day (three people minimum). They organize an 8-day trek to the Valley of Flowers, 10-day trek to Rup Kund Lake, and a 14-day trek to the Khatling Glacier.

Apex Tours, next to the GMVN office, Muni-ki-Reti, arranges treks, rafting, and rock climbing trips.

Triveni (433-979; fax 432-989), Shop No 1, opposite PNB, Haridwar Rd, arranges treks and Char Dham tours. They arrange white-water rafting for around Rs 600 for a day. They also arrange elephant safaris in Rajaji National Park and a walk in the 200m long Vishitha Gufa (cave).
The GMVN office (30372) arranges Char Dham packages and trekking tours. The GMVN Trekking and Mountaineering department (32648), hires out tents, sleeping bags, backpacks and other equipment.

UP Tourism, Kaudiyala area, arranges rafting packages for about Rs 600 a day, which includes rafting, meals and basic accommodation. From their office in Rishikesh, UP Tourism, arranges Char Dham tours.

Step Himalayan Adventures (432-581) offers white-water-rapid rafting trips on the Ganges for Rs 500 a person, which includes transportation and a 15km (3½ hr) rafting trip.

Bharata Temple
Despite the name, the presiding deity in this temple is Lord Narayana (Lord Vishnu), not Bharata, Lord Rama’s brother. It is a very old temple with a wall around it. It is located in the heart of Rishikesh, about a half-km from Triveni Ghat. There is an inscription on the temple that says Adi Sankaracharya renovated the temple. Open 5 to 11 am and 1 to 9 pm.

Laksman Jhula
Laksman Jhula is about 3km north of downtown Rishikesh. At this place Laksman, Rama’s younger brother, is said to have performed penance. There is a Laksman Temple here on the west bank of the river, by the bridge. It is said that near this temple, at Rishi Kund, Lord Rama and Laksman took bath to atone for the sin incurred for killing Ravana, who was a Brahmin. There is also a seven-storey temple housing diorama figures depicting spiritual subject matters.
There was a hanging jute rope bridge here until 1889. It was rebuilt with iron cables in 1939. This is a very peaceful area, but can be crowded during the day.

There is a nice peaceful area with a small sandy beach where you can bathe in the Ganges. It is just south of the bridge, on the other side of the river from the main part of town.

On the other side of the bridge there are interesting temples. The 13-storey Kailashanand Mission Ashram has a good view from the top floor. It has various deities on several floors.

There are nice, small waterfalls about 3½ km north of Laksman Jhula, on the east bank of the river. Not many people visit these waterfalls and they are a pleasant place to visit and to spend a couple hours. To get to the falls you walk north on the road from Laksman Jhula pass the Ganga View Restaurant. You can also take a jeep. After 3½ km you come to a few tea and cold drink stands. You then climb the hill for several minutes and there is a path leading to the falls. You can continue on the path for another minute to another small waterfall.

In between the Laksman Jhula bridge and the falls are several beaches where you can relax and swim at.

Places To See
Triveni Ghat, the main bathing ghat, is where the Ganges and the subterranean Yamuna and Saraswati are said to flow together. Dawn is a good time to come here, during which time people make offerings to the Ganges and feed the large fish here. Pinda sraddha, or offerings for the benefit of dead ancestors, is performed here. There is a daily evening Ganges Arati (offering of lamps) at around 6 pm. It is a well-attended, interesting event.

At Muni-Ki-Reti (abode of the Rishis) the Ganges emerges out of the Himalayan foothills. The Shatrugna Temple, Muni-ki-Reti, is about 4.5km from downtown Rishikesh. It is dedicated to Shatrugna, the youngest brother of Lord Rama.
The Balaji and Chandramouleswar Temple is constructed in the South Indian style. It is run by the same board that runs the temple in Tirupati, and the temple rituals are the same as at Tirupati. It is north of the Bharata Mandir past the Chandrabhaga River.

Neela Kantha Mahadeva Temple
Neela Kantha Mahadeva Temple is situated on a hill, 1,700m (5,500 ft) above sea level, and is about 11km from Laksman Jhula. This is an important Siva temple. Siva received the name Neela Kantha after he drank the poison produced from the churning of the Milk Ocean. After drinking the poison his throat turned blue. Neela means “blue” and kantha means “throat.”
It takes about four hours to walk to here from Laksman Jhula and less than two hours to walk back. If it is hot it is best to do this walk early in the day. The path to the temple starts behind Swarg Ashram and then goes past Mahesh Yogi’s ashram. There are regular shared jeeps to this temple from Laksman Jhula (Rs 35 a person or Rs 350 for the entire jeep). It is especially busy during July, which is said to be the time when Siva drank the poison. There is a holy tree here that women tie a string to as an offering in order to get blessed with a child.

From the Neela Kantha temple you can climb 2km to the Parvati temple, which is located on top of a high hill. From this temple another 2km further up the hill is a Cave (gufa), where there is a small temple. There are good views along the way. It is a fairly hard climb to the Parvati temple and a fairly easy walk to the cave.

Kunjapuri
It is a 10km walk to this Shakti temple, which is located on a hill north of Rishikesh. From this temple there are great views of the surrounding Himalayan countryside. To get here you can take a bus to Hindola Khal on the road to Tehri, and then from there it is a 3km walk. It is a 45 minutes bus ride from Rishikesh.

Yoga Ashrams
Sivananda Ashram was founded by Swami Sivananda (1887-1963), who is one of the most famous yogis of this century. It is now under Swami Chidananda and Swami Krishnananda. There are free yoga classes at the Shivananda Ashram at 7 am. There are regular darshans with Swami Krishnananda at around 10 am. To stay at the ashram, you have to write a few months in advance and get permission. The address is Divine Life Society PO Sivanandanagar, District Tehri Garhwal. Phone and fax: 431-190.

Saccha Dham Ashram   The spiritual teachers at the ashram is Sri Hans Raj Swami, also known as Maharaj, and Shantimayi, who is an American women. During Shantimayi’s daily satsangs, there is usually enthusiastic chanting. When Shantimayi is in Rishikesh, Maharaj usually gives darshan at 10 am and there is satsang with Shantimayi present at 4 pm. The ashram is near the Laksman Jhula bridge.

Yoga Center This center (431-196) was established by Brahmacharya Rudra Dev, who studied under BKS Iyengar and was also a monk in the Sivananda Ashram. Hatha yoga classes at different levels are given in the Iyengar style. Three week courses are offered in February, April and September. From July to November there are several classes a day. Classes are free, but donations can be given. This place is in south Rishikesh on Haridwar Road in Koyelgati.

Ved Niketan  offers a one-month intro yoga course. The one-month course has hatha yoga, pranayama, and Bhagavad Gita classes and different yoga processes are studied. There is meditation from 6.30 to 8.30 am, a lecture at 9.30 am and hatha yoga at 5 pm. Anyone can take part is the daily routines. There are around 100 rooms in the ashrams and if you stay here you do not have to go to the yoga classes.

Yoga Niketan  There are meditation and hatha yoga classes offered here. It is possible for visitors to take part in the classes. To stay in the ashram, you have to attend the early morning and evening hatha yoga and meditation classes. It cost around Rs 150 daily, which includes meals and some courses. This ashram is on the hillside above the main road in Muni-ki-Reti and the Sivananda Ashram. The phone number is 430-227.

Mahesh Yogi Ashram near Ved Niketan offers courses on transcendental meditation. You have to write in advance to Mahesh Yogi Ashram, Sankaracharya Nagar, Rishikesh 249-201.
Omkarananda Ashram  (431-473) near the Sivananda Arch, offers hatha yoga classes daily except Sundays at 5 pm. They also give classes on classical Indian music and dance.

Shopping
There are several shops in the Swarg Ashram area on the road along the Ganges, which sell religious tapes, books and beads, and clothes. Rishikesh is a good place to get Rudraksha beads.
Mahesh Yogi Ayurvedic Centre, Laksman Jhula Rd, is a good source of Ayurvedic medicines. There is an Ayurvedic doctor here.

Where to Stay
There are three areas of Rishikesh to stay—the main part of town, the more peaceful area north of town on the other side of the Ganges in Swarg Ashram, or at Laksman Jhula. Most of the places in the Swarg Ashram area are ashrams or fairly basic places. This is a good area to stay a week or two, especially during March, April, and during the hot summer months.

Vehicles do not go to the other side of the river. You either have to walk across the bridge or take a boat. You can hire porters on the other side of the river to carry your bags.

It has comfortable rooms with central A/C for Rs 940/1140 and Rs 1040/1240 for a room with a good view of the Ganges. Rooms here are overpriced and it is fairly inconvenient to get to.

There are shared taxis from the bus stand in Rishikesh to Haridwar for Rs 25. There are also shared rickshaws (vikrams) to Haridwar, which can be gotten on Hari-dwar Rd. You can get a shared jeep (called a trekker) to Dehra Dun, anywhere on Dehra Dun Rd (Rs 15).

In Haridwar, if you walk across the bridge a few blocks from Hari-ki-Pairi Ghat, there are regular shared motor rickshaws (Rs 10 or Rs 100 for the entire rickshaw, 40-minute) that go to Rishikesh. These rickshaws go to the end of town, and from there you have to get another rickshaw to Shivanand or Laksman Jhula for Rs 3 or 4.

The office for the Taxi Operators’ Union (30413), is on Haridwar Rd, near Ghat Rd. The fixed off-season rate for Haridwar is Rs 300, Delhi Rs 1,500, Mussoorie Rs 600, Dehra Dun Rs 300, Uttarkashi Rs 1,500, and Ranikhet is Rs 2,000. The high season (summer) rate is 25% to 50% higher.

Travel
Train There is a train from Haridwar to Rishikesh, but the bus is a better way to go. From Haridwar you can get a train to Delhi and many other major cities. At the station in Rishikesh there is a limited quota of tickets available for trains departing from Haridwar. The office (%131) is open 10 am to 4 pm (closed 1.30 to 2 pm). There are trains (1 hr, Rs 5) to Haridwar at 6.40 and 9.15 am and 2.10, 3.15, and 6.40 pm (Rs 5).

Bus  From the Main Bus Stand (30066) there are regular buses to Haridwar (every 30 min, 1 hr, Rs 9) and Dehra Dun (1½ hr, Rs 13). There are also direct buses to Delhi (6 hr). A private A/C deluxe bus (Rs 200) departs to Delhi, which can be arranged through a travel agent. Between 5 am and 10.30 pm there are buses every hour to Delhi (6 hr). Ordinary buses are Rs 60, semi-deluxe Rs 175 and super deluxe Rs 225. To get to Shimla you first have to go to Dehra Dun, where you will find many buses. At 8.15 am there is a bus to Ramnagar (6 hr) which then continues to Nainital (9 hr total).

The buses for the Garhwal Hills (Char Dham) depart from the Yatra Bus Stand, off Dehra Dun Rd. In the summer there are regular buses to Gangotri (250km, 12 hr, Rs 110), Uttarkashi (7 hr, Rs 70) Badrinath (297km, 13 hr, Rs 130), Gaurikund (near Kedarnath, 210km), Hanuman Chatti (for Yamunotri, 210km, 9 hr, Rs 97), and other pilgrimage places. It is best to get an early morning bus (5 or 6 am), as the buses do not travel at night in the mountains. If you get a later bus you will have to stop some where along the way for the night. You usually have to reserve these buses the night before (highly advised), or have a travel agent do it.
