Rishikesh
Ghats, ashrams, and handmade instruments — Cool mist settles on weathered stone steps
Best time to visit
March to May and September to November
Rishikesh, located in the Himalayan foothills, experiences a subtropical climate with hot and dry summers, and mild winters. The monsoon season typically brings heavy rainfall from July to September, with a relatively dry period from October to December.
Before you go
- Do not plan a Rishikesh trip during Kanwar Yatra unless that is the point. Arrive 30-45 minutes before the aarti. Carry cash for the Beatles Ashram. And note the town is vegetarian and alcohol-free
- which is worth stating plainly rather than leaving visitors to discover.
