Itineary Detail

Today you will wake early and travel 25 km north of Rishikesh by private jeep – to Kunjapuri Temple which soars 1645 meters high to commemorate Goddess Shakti and Lord Shiva idols. Awaken one’s spirituality with snow-capped Himalayan Mountain vistas and sacred surroundings at sunrise. After a sunrise meditation we will trek down to Rishikesh via the lush forest. In between, we can enjoy freshly brewed Tea and breakfast.

In the warmest part of the afternoon you will have an opportunity to bathe in the Ganges. In Hinduism, the river Ganges is considered sacred and is personified as the goddess Gaá¹…gÄ. She is worshiped by Hindus who believe that bathing in the river causes the remission of sins and facilitates Moksha (liberation from the cycle of life and death), and that the water of the Ganges is considered very pure. In this part of India the river is clean more safe to emerge in.

In the evening we will walk to Ram Jhula to take part in the Ganga Aarti. The sunset Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan often draws hundreds of visitors each day from all cultures, all languages, all religions and all walks of life. Regardless of one’s religion or ability to understand Hindi or Sanskrit, the power of the aarti is universal. Ganga Aarti transcends the borders and boundaries of language and culture, diving straight into one’s heart, carrying one to Heaven.
