Rishikesh

Rishikesh is the 'place of the sages', a celebrated spiritual town located on the banks of the Gange, surrounded by the Himalayas on three sides.
It is the starting point for the Hindu Char Dham pilgrimage, including Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, to seek spiritual salvation.
Rishikesh is an ideal destination not only for pilgrims but also for those who want to delve deeper into meditation, yoga and other aspects of ancient practices. It is also called the "Yoga capital of the world". It is believed that meditation in Rishikesh brings one closer to attainment of moksha, as does a dip in the holy river that flows through it.
Rishikesh is home to the 120-year old Kailas Ashram Brahmavidyapeetham, an institution dedicated to preserve and promote the traditional Vedantic Studies. Prominent personalities such as Swami Vivekananda, Swami Rama Tirtha and Swami Shivananda have studied in this institution.

The International Yoga week, which attracts participation from all across the world, is held here every year from February 2 to 7 on the banks of river Ganga.

For the adventurous, Rishikesh is the place for starting their trekking expeditions and excursions towards the Himalayan peaks (September to March)

In February 1968, The Beatles visited the now-closed Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in Rishikesh.
