The cleanliness of the river ghats was good; well maintained; Ganga Aarti @ Parmarth Niketan was well organized; good crowd control; On the flip side, lack of changing rooms at the ghats, after a holy dip.

I went to Rishikesh with an open mind to witness the might of the Ganges River, see the temples and join my wife in the participation of the Aarti Ceremony. There are the local habits, roving animals and crazy traffic that may annoy a lot of visitors. But I chose to rise above those and focus on the rituals, temples, monuments, daily activities, Ashrams (retreats) and the view of the Rishikesh valley. The flow of the Ganges and the 3 cable bridges (Ram Jhulla, Lachman Julla, and Janki Jhulla), and the chanting with the ceremonies in the evenings were mesmerizing, humbling and a joy to the soul. I felt blessed to be there.

Had a wonderful experience at The Hosteller Upper Tapovan. The staff was incredibly polite and welcoming. The cafeteria was great, the food was delicious, and the views were absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!

Spending time by the Ganga was wonderful—great food (especially near Parmarth Niketan), calm beaches, and plenty of places to explore. The only downside was that some groups of youngsters were there just to smoke and drink, which can spoil the vibe. My advice: double-check your stay before booking so you don’t run into that issue.

Been there before . This time I wanted a pooja done . The Panditji I was recommended by the security guard at Triveni ghat , was par excellence. Ganga Aarti at Haridwar is a once in a lifetime experience. The Rikshaw drivers are nice as well. Willing to wait while you finish what you want to . Rishikesh is surreal .
