Sunset time lapse in Rishikesh - Uttarakhand

View of sun setting down time lapse, take from the Parmarth Ghat and river Ganga flowing through at Rishikesh, Uttarakhand.

A revered region of radical religion, Rishikesh translates to 'Lord of the Senses'. A pilgrim city, which has recently turned into a hub of adventure sports, Rishikesh has its own captivating charm that never fails to impress. Located at a mere distance of 25 kilometres from the holy city of Haridwar and 220 kilometres from New Delhi, Rishikesh is tucked into the southernmost foothills of the Shivalik hills.

One of the biggest religious centres of North India, Rishikesh is situated along the banks of the holy Ganges and surrounded by the verdant Shivalik hills on three sides.

Rishikesh is frequented by Hindu pilgrims as well as westerners who set out to the Ganges to cleanse them of their sins and attain nirvana. Dotted with temples exuding divinity and ashrams soaking in the holistic environs, Rishikesh is a major attraction for those seeking spirituality.

Being a sacred city, the denizens of Rishikesh believe in religiously following a vegetarian diet, and alcohol stands no chance amidst the spiritual highs of Rishikesh. Those looking for a detox session will find the environs of Rishikesh apposite.

Aptly titled the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’, Rishikesh has umpteen ashrams organising yoga camps across the year. Thousands visit Rishikesh to relax, learn yoga, meditate and seek spiritual bliss. The ashrams not only offer accommodation but also open up a realm of healthy living.
