Rishikesh for Two: Quiet Beaches, Luxury Riverside Spas, and Sunrise Aarti
Skip the rafting crowds and find the slow side of Rishikesh: sandy riverbanks, spa afternoons, and prayers on the Ganga at either end of the day.
A gentler Rishikesh
Beyond the bridges and cafés lies a quieter city: pebble banks, ashram lanes, and riverside spas where the Ganga hums just outside.
Quiet river beaches
Walk away from the main ghats and you find stretches of sand where you can sit with a book or a flask of tea.
Aarti, morning and evening
Evening aarti on the ghats is the famous one, with lamps floating downriver. Some ashrams also hold quieter morning prayers.
