Sometimes I plan and sometimes it happens by chance, I would never like to miss an oppurtunity to visit a place which i had never been to And it so happened last weekend I got chance to visit beautiful Hilly City Rishikesh In India Although i was invited in friends gathering at Haridwar, around 30 miles from Rishikesh, I somehow managed time to visit this place

Beautiful ganges flows down the city, with two beautiful bridges on top of it. namely Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula, I could see fishes from the bridge, such is the clarity of water.

I was rather surprised to see the number of foriegn tourists in the area, although Rishikesh is a prominent pilgrim place in hindu religion, so i was expecting lots of pilgrims but to find so many tourist it was just surprising experience. But sooner i realised that Rishikesh has been popular as yoga and meditation centre in past some years, and i could find many institutes also. Also lots of adventure sports activity taking place in Rishiskesh specially white water rafting, trekking to himalyan ranges.

I didnt had much time to spend there but i had my camera with me (which is always with me during any trip) so i could manage some shots for you all guys.. check them at http://www.flickr.com/photos/travinfoindia/
