Rishikesh literally means the ‘Place of Sages’ and is surrounded by the Shivalik range on three sides. It is an eminent spiritual town on the banks of River Ganga, pervaded with tranquil spirituality. Hindu pilgrims and new-age westerners frequent the banks of the Ganga in hope of washing away their sins and attain ‘nirvana’. Also known as the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’, the ashrams not only offer a place to stay but also introduce the world of healthy living.
