THE DRIVE
Plan the Noida to Rishikesh drive
Choose your hotel or ghat area as the drop. Rafting points such as Shivpuri and Byasi are outside the town centre; add them separately if they are part of the trip and confirm activity availability with the operator.

PLACE AND PAST
Rishikesh: a little context
Rishikesh is a pilgrimage and spiritual-learning centre on the Ganga, with ashrams and yoga traditions that continue to draw visitors. Uttarakhand Tourism also describes the town as a gateway to the Garhwal Himalaya and an access point for outdoor activities.
The town’s modern cultural history includes the 1968 visit by members of The Beatles to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram, now commonly called the Beatles Ashram or Chaurasi Kutia. The site sits in the Swargashram area and is a separate visit from the riverfront ghats.
