Rishikesh Tour Package With Rafting

Rishikesh had drawn seekers of spirituality long before the Beatles arrived here, at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi back in the late ‘60s. Rishikesh tour packages traditionally hawking its many meditation and yoga classes has earned it the title of the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’. The north of the main Rishikesh town can be considered the hub of all activity in this ever-bustling religious town. The setting of the gurgling Ganges against the wooded hills setting the scene for some strolling down zigzagging by-lanes lined with knickknack shops and cafes. The evenings are placid as a cool breeze floats down from the hills and gets the temple bells chiming and the ascetics taking up positions for their evening meditation. But it is the nightly event, the Ganga aarti which captures the imagination of tourists and spirituality seekers alike when the ghats of the Ganges are brilliantly lit up in a show of reverence to the mighty river. In Rishikesh, there is so much you can pursue on the sidelines of taking in the frenzy and the motley gathering it entices - you can practise meditation, learn yoga or how to tune a sitar, and if nothing else you can climb up a little higher to Shivpuri and enjoy some white water rafting, for it is as much for spirituality as it for backpackers who seek a Himalayan getaway alive with trekking opportunities.
