There is no doubt that it is one of the most famous places in Rishikesh. Mostly all tourist places in Rishikesh are ceremonial or holy places, and are full of color and noise.
Other tourist places in Rishikesh include the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple, which is a Shiva Temple, situated roughly two and a half kilometers from Laxman Jhula. A narrow road leads through dense forests to this Rishikesh tourist place, where the entire location is so picturesque that you wouldn’t want to blink your eyes at all.Travelers looking for waterfall in Rishikesh should visit the Neer Garh Waterfall which is just 11 kilometers away from the city centre. One can enjoy a bath at the base of the fall under the freely falling water.

Vasanimahek's 4 days trip to Rishikesh
We missed 2-3 destinations due to lack of time. While camping in Rishikesh, we expected some people besides us but thee was no one except 2 girls in the camp which is scary. And i recommend next time please do enquire with the camp else keep camping on sat-sun. The itenary should have been planned effectively. Awesome rafting experience, Driver was really good.Nitish Raawat

Everything was great starting from stay at laxmi palace and rafting. But once we reached at the second heaven Adventure it didn't went that well. As lunch was delivered around 4, dinner at 11 and breakfast was not even prepared when we left around 9.15am. there were shortage of blankets camp fire was a failure .Sagar Shah

Sagar's 3 days trip to Rishikesh
Booked for the first time from travel triangle and must say the travel agents are really good. Received a good amount of quotations to choose from and opted for Trip Sailer. It was a nice experience as even after changing my plans for multiple time they were always ready to assist me. Hotels were good and the cab service was sharp on time. Location of hotels were extremely awesome. Constant followup and updates from "Ms/Mrs Prabha" of trip sailer is commendable. Campaign and rafting in Rishikesh.Roshni Bhoot

Good job Travel Ride! Excellent follow up by the whole team. Nice arrangements made. Thanks for a wonderful plan. Kanatal camp and Rishikesh river raftingJuhi Sharma
Delhi
Juhi's 4 days trip to Rishikesh
The trip was good as the destinations were good. However it was not efficiently planned, could have been much better. First day itinerary was improper. Hotel and food was below par as per the budget. Also didn't like the fact that although we were just two people we were sent for camping where there was no other customer at all. Overall spends must have been much lower than how much we incurred. River rafting in Ganges.Want best packages handpicked just for you?
