Rishikesh Tour Packages

Tour overview

About the Destination:

There is no doubt that the beauty you will be able to witness on your day tour of Rishikesh will leave you pleasantly enchanted. However, the history of this city doesn’t lag behind either. Rishikesh has a bewitching history that predates to the mythological era. According to the myths that surround the city, Rishikesh was the home of a famous saint named Raibhya Rishi, who used to perform reparations on the banks of the River Ganges. The eminent Hindu God, Lord Vishnu was impressed by the saint’s penance and rewarded him by appearing in front of him as ‘Hrishikesh’, hence giving the city its name. In addition to this, another myth that surfaces in the city is that Rishikesh had been a part of the fabled ‘Kedar Khand’ – the place where Lord Rama performed deep reparations for killing Ravana. Hence, the Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula are said to be the two most important places in the city, which are also included in every Rishikesh tour package. However, the city gained importance as a religious place after the famous leader, Adi Shankaracharya, visited Rishikesh in the 9^th century A.D. When you book a Rishikesh tour package, you not only get the chance to enjoy a peaceful vacation but also have the opportunity to soak in the mystical beauty and heritage of the city.

On the geographical front, Rishikesh is located at an average elevation of 1,220 ft., i.e. 372 meters, and falls in the Tehri Garwhal region of Uttarakhand. The Ganges, after flowing for about 249 km through the narrow valleys of the Himalayas, emerges from the mountains at Rishikesh and finally debouches onto the plains. A trip or even a day tour of Rishikesh is filled with the beauty of cascading waterfalls and lush greenery.
