Nestled cosily on the foothills of the Himalayas, Rishikesh abounds in natural beauty. Nicknamed 'The yoga capital of the World' Rishikesh has numerous yoga centers. It is believed that meditation in Rishikesh brings one closer to attainment of moksha, as does a dip in the holy Ganges River that flows through it. A breathtaking experience of natural beauty and undiscovered wildlife await here. Not to mention the peace and tranquility of a landscape associated with sages and meditation. You can learn to play the sitar or tabla, try hasya yoga (laughter therapy), practice humming or gong meditation and experience crystal healing.
