Experience the evening aarti
at Triveni Ghat

Meet your guide at Triveni Ghat parking to start the 3-hour walking tour. The Triveni Ghat aarti is a riverside ritual of chants, music and glowing lamps offered to Maa Ganga, goddess of the Ganges. Rather than just watching from afar, feel the atmosphere with your guide as they explain the meaning of the ritual and the river's spiritual importance in Rishikesh. You also hear the story of the chariot sculpture of Arjuna and Krishna at Triveni Ghat.

Walk along Aastha Path, known as Marine Drive

Walk along Aastha Path, which locals also call Marine Drive, and enjoy peaceful evening views of the Ganges. As you move on from the riverside, hear stories about Maa Ganga, Shiva-Shakti and the sacred connections that shape the town's identity.

Visit Bharat Mandir and a small museum

Visit Bharat Mandir, known as the oldest temple in Rishikesh, an old heritage temple and a small museum. Discover the deeper history of the town beyond yoga cafes and postcard views.

Discover daily life at the local market

Stroll through the local market lined with old buildings, herb shops and unique stores, and see how tradition and daily life coexist. If a local festival or special event is taking place during the tour, you may join in with your guide. The tour ends back at Triveni Ghat parking.
