Rishikesh, or the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’ in Uttarakhand is visited by many tourists worldwide. It is a year-round destination, but winter is regarded as the best time to go to Rishikesh India. Cool climates, lower humidity, and post-monsoon bring fresh and green landscapes along with fresh air that make travellers unwind in nature freely.
