Very safe, friendly & touristic city. I can highly recommend.
Food is great, so many yoga classes. It is more a place to chill than to party.
A lot of ways for hiking and restaurants, which are vegan&vegetarian.

Rishikesh is a beautiful place where people are very helpful and even roaming around in the dark streets all night feels very good because there is absolutely nothing wrong here and you can go anytime

India, a vibrant country located in South Asia, is known for its rich culture, diverse traditions, and historical significance. The seventh-largest country in the world, bordered by the Himalayan ranges in the north, the Indian Ocean in the south, and the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal to its west and east respectively, it is renowned for its stunning landscapes and biodiverse nature. India boasts numerous iconic landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's enchanting Pink City, the spiritual hub Varanasi, and the pristine beaches of Goa. Additionally, it offers a gastronomic adventure with its array of regional dishes and street food. Moreover, its festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Eid bring together its melting pot of religions and cultures in vibrant and colorful displays.

Rishikesh, located in the northern state of Uttarakhand, India, is a city of deep spiritual significance that basks in the shadow of the lofty Himalayas and is cradled by the mighty Ganges River. Known as the "Yoga Capital of the World," it is home to numerous ashrams that offer yoga and meditation classes, including the renowned Parmarth Niketan and Sivananda Ashram. Rishikesh's spiritual status is further enhanced by its vibrant temples, the most famous being the 13-storey Trimbakeshwar Temple. Additionally, Rishikesh is a gateway to the Char Dham and the starting point for the sacred Char Dham pilgrimage. The iconic suspension bridge, the Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula, are other notable attractions. Despite its spiritual significance, Rishikesh also offers vibrant cafes, bustling markets and opportunities for adventurous activities such as rafting and trekking, making it a diverse destination catering to a wide range of interests.

Rishikesh is a spiritual place. If you're into spirituality, gods, and related experiences, you should definitely visit Rishikesh. In addition to its spiritual side, it also offers a variety of adventurous activities like river rafting, bungee jumping, paragliding, go-karting, and many more. I highly recommend visiting Rishikesh—it's incredibly peaceful.

Rishikesh is budget friendly and safe for women. It's a peaceful place near the holy river Ganga. I stayed there for more than a month and absolutely loved it!! 
The food is amazing at Chotiwala's restaurants. And there are many of them. When picking a stay for yourself, look for dorms/ rooms in Tapovan🤗
