Ghats of Rishikesh

Although any part of the Ganges serves for ablutions or ritual baths, the Gahts of Rishikesh are the best places to observe the ancient Hindu ceremony, who consider the river to be one of the most sacred in India. The city's most important ghats are within walking distance to the bridge Lakshman-Jhula , so close to the city that the pedestrian bridge offers great views. Those who have been in Varanasi will discover how different these ghats are, perhaps because in Rishikesh, the Ganges runs pristine and crystal blue, and because the city is much smaller, the ghats are kept clean and are less overcrowded.
