Overview
Rishikesh is known worldwide as the Yoga Capital of the World, set where the Ganges flows through the forested foothills of the Himalayas with the iconic Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula suspension bridges connecting ashrams on both banks. The Beatles famously stayed at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram here in 1968, composing many songs for the White Album, and the now-abandoned ashram has become a pilgrimage site for music fans. Rishikesh is also India's premier destination for white-water rafting, with Grade III and IV rapids on a 16 km stretch of the Ganges. Situated 1520 km from Mumbai, the journey to Rishikesh via NH 48 to Delhi → NH 334 via Meerut → Haridwar → Rishikesh takes roughly 23-25 hours and is one of the most popular outstation routes from the city.

NH 48 to Delhi → NH 334 via Meerut → Haridwar → Rishikesh DelhiHistory & Significance
Rishikesh has been a meditation centre for sages since Vedic times, and legend holds that Lord Rama performed penance here for slaying the demon king Ravana. The town's modern spiritual fame began when Swami Sivananda founded the Divine Life Society in 1936, followed by numerous ashrams that made it a global yoga destination. The opening of the Lakshman Jhula iron suspension bridge in 1929 connected remote ashrams and transformed access to the town.
