Visitors watching the sunrise from the Kunjapuri viewpoint

Though it is a short trek, it gives you the chance to see the Secret and Neer waterfalls, a charming village and lush forests — and to watch the mountain sunrise from the temple, set at an elevation of 1,676 metres, around 30 km from Tapovan in Rishikesh.

A day in Rishikesh

Ganga aarti, riverside cafés, yoga and rafting — then back to the quiet hills. Approximately 30–40 minutes by road.

Set against the backdrop of the Himalayas and with the pristine Ganga flowing through it, the ancient town of Rishikesh is one of the major tourist and pilgrimage hubs in northern India, where people from across the world arrive in search of peace. Rishikesh is commonly referred to as the ‘yoga capital of the world’, and it has numerous ashrams, some internationally recognised as centres of philosophical studies, yoga and other ancient Indian traditions of wellness. The Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board organises the annual International Yoga Festival here.

There are several legends associated with Rishikesh. It is said to find a mention in the Skanda Purana and in the Ramayana: Lord Rama, along with his brothers, is said to have come to Rishikesh to do penance after killing Ravana.

Take a relaxed day trip for the Ganga aarti, river rafting, riverside cafés and yoga centres — and return to the peaceful hills of Narendra Nagar. Rishikesh is approximately 30–40 minutes from Mountain Mama by road.
