Things to do when in Rishikesh

“If you are visiting this Yoga City, we will bring to you the list of things to do when in Rishikesh”

We love the city Of Rishikesh and it is that one place where one can find peace just sitting by the river side. Being the Yoga city it is extremely peaceful when you get to experience the depth of the place. A lot of tourist visits Rishikesh during their weekend getaway from the city life. We totally loved the accessibility of the city even being at a height. The best part about Rishikesh is the comfortable altitude and the accessibility to daily needs. Not just youngsters but it is a place where elderly can find peace. Here are few things to do when in Rishikesh, keeping in mind our experiences

Walking your way through the city

This is the best idea to walk through the city as it gives a great view. From mountains to river, the city has both and it is a great opportunity to take that early morning walk in the city. One can just simply hear chanting and walk by the ‘ghats’ (river bank) by the sunrise. We did get an opportunity to see the early rise on our first day at Rishikesh.

Ira’s Kitchen

If you are a great fan of a well prepared breakfast plate, then Ira’s Kitchen can give you chillz. Our favorite was the nicely spiced butter toast with Egg Bhurji(scrambled eggs). Both of us are fan of a tummy filing breakfast in the morning and so we discovered this small space under the tree. We totally love the ambience and the comfortable seating arrangements in the café. They also love to take care of their guest, at the same time gives enough space to decide on their choices. This is a must in the list of things to do when in Rishikesh.

The Ganga Beach Café by the evening

We just cannot forget the amazing view at night by this Café known as Ganga Beach. This Café gives a complete view of the Laxman Jhula lit with decorative lights through the night and the mesmerizing river at the same time. We listed this under the things to do when in Rishikesh because this place also serves not just a view but a great range of food. Something we loved was this huge plate of Falafel with Hummus. It was an amazing combination of taste and filled our tummy for the rest of the night.

Evening walk through the Market

So we wanted to try some coffee and what better than visiting the Madras café. On the way to the coffee date, we noticed this wide range of market space. I totally loved the collection of jewelry. You might not get precious stones in the shops but can get hold of beautiful range of crystal pendants. The market is near Ram Jhula and after a brief walk through the colorful lane; it is always suggested to try the coffee from Madras café by the end of the lane.

Café Karma’s special Nutella Banana Pancake

If you are going for a rafting session, then you got to try the delicious Nutella Banana Pancake in Café Karma located in Tapovan. After a tiring rafting, people usually feel the need to feed their tummy. Café Karma has wide range of delicious food alongside this must try Pancake. This place is open till 10 pm and also has rooms available if you want to relax for a day or two.

Also, when you are in Rishikesh, do not miss the opportunity to try wood oven pizza and few live music sessions in many cafes around the city.
