Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is one of the most revered Shiva shrines connected with Rishikesh, yet it feels distinctly removed from the town’s riverfront rhythm. Set deep inside forested hills above the Ganga valley, the temple is visited as much for its spiritual meaning as for the journey required to reach it. Unlike ghats or ashrams that blend into everyday life, this temple stands apart — physically,...
The Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat is one of the most visible daily rituals in Rishikesh, but it is also one of the most misunderstood. Unlike the quieter, ashram-led ceremonies upstream, this aarti unfolds at a busy riverfront where pilgrimage, daily life, and tourism overlap. Held every evening on the banks of the Ganga, it reflects how faith operates in a living town rather than a secluded spiritual...
Bhootnath Temple is one of the lesser-known yet deeply respected Shiva temples in Rishikesh. It does not draw crowds like the riverfront ashrams or famous ghats, and it does not feature prominently in guidebooks. What it offers instead is quiet continuity—a place where local faith has remained unchanged despite the rapid transformation of Rishikesh around it. Dedicated to Lord Shiva in his fierce and...

Situated on the banks of the sacred Ganga, Parmarth Niketan attracts seekers from...
Beatles Ashram, officially known as Chaurasi Kutia, is one of the most quietly powerful places in Rishikesh. It is not a conventional tourist attraction, nor is it a functioning ashram anymore. What draws people here is not ritual or instruction, but atmosphere—a sense of pause, reflection, and historical depth that still lingers among its abandoned meditation huts and forest paths. Located inside...
Triveni Ghat is not just another riverside spot in Rishikesh. It is one of the most spiritually charged places in the town, deeply woven into the daily religious life of pilgrims, locals, and visiting devotees. For centuries, people have come here not to sightsee, but to pray, bathe, and connect with something larger than themselves. Located along the sacred Ganga, Triveni Ghat is believed to be the...
Rishikesh is known as the Yoga Capital of the World, but it’s also one of India’s most spiritually rich destinations. The temples here reflect centuries of devotion, mythology, and Himalayan culture. For families traveling together, visiting these temples is a beautiful way to experience peace, tradition and togetherness. Each temple offers its own unique charm — some sit along the Ganga, some lie...
