Best Time To Visit Rishikesh

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

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. During this season, there are ample opportunities to experience adrenaline-rush flowing through the system, including camping and bungee jumping. On the contrary, summer may bring relief to tourists by sitting near the waterfalls or doing water rafting but high temperatures may make them feel uneasy. Monsoons in Rishikesh, certainly, drop temperatures but increase the chances of landslides. Additionally, many activities are restricted due to heavy rainfall, including river rafting and bungee jumping. Slippery and muddy slopes may make trekking difficult. However, nature lovers can have a great time in monsoon season as Rishkesh transforms into anew with green landscapes and rain. Overall, winter is the ideal time to explore Rishikesh for a wholesome experience.

    Traveller's 3 days trip to Rishikesh

    Trip was good but very poorly managed by Travel agent. He changed the described cottage stay at last moment to a lower one - increasing his overall profits. Driver was not finalized till 10:00 pm one day before. Provided hotel vouchers after repeated follow ups. During the entire booking process he was trying to extract more and more money. Speaks too much but delivery is not up the mark. Friendly cottage staff
