It is a vegetarian city by law, an alcohol-free city, Due to religious efforts considering feelings of Holy Public and visitors, this city is egg free, and and has also banned the use of plastic bags by shopkeepers and vendors and public has also cooperated to make city clean and pollution free. ASTHA PATH on the bank of Holy Ganga is a point of attraction for morning walkers and have full view of Ganga.
Rishikesh is still known as the World Capital of Yoga. The center of town where the train and bus stations can be found is of little interest to most travelers. Further north-east are 2 bridges spanning the Ganges, Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula, and either end of these bridges are the main hubs of activity and interest. Most accommodation and restaurants can be found in Lakshman Jhula, High Bank and Swarg Ashram. |
