Rishikesh, a most tranquil place in northern Uttarakhand, surrounded by hills and bisected by the wide and sluggish Ganges, is often claimed as the `Yoga Capital of the World’. Back in the 1960s Rishikesh gained instant fame as the site where The Beatles came to stay with their guru, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It is an excellent place to meditate and study yoga. Rishikesh is also a good starting Laxman Jhula point for treks to Himalayan pilgrimage centres such as Badrinath, Kedarnath , Gangotri, Yamnotri.It is rightly called the gateway to the Himalayan Shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. 7 Story Temple Situated 24 km upstream from Haridwar, at the confluence of the Chandrabhaga and Ganga,
Rishikesh has long been a spiritual centre. It is said that the sage Raibhya Rishi did severe penance here and as a reward, God appeared to him in the form of Hrishikesh, hence the name. Rishikesh has numerous ashrams, some of which are internationally recognized as centers of philosophical studies, yoga and meditation. An international yoga week is organized here every year by Uttarakhand Tourism between 2nd and 7th of February. For the adventurous, there are opportunities for white water rafting on the Ganga.

FAQ
Kheerganga Trek is such a popular one because it is accessible most of the year. The best time for the trek is between April to November, but the absolute best months are April-May and September-October, because the weather is very pleasant in these months. Trekking during the monsoon season should be avoided, as the path can become very slippery and muddy.
As it is in the hills, network connectivity may be a problem. BSNL network works best, alongwith Airtel at some places. Take any important calls before starting to Kheerganga just in case.
The trek starts from Barshaini, and the total trek distance is 12-13 km and it takes around 7-8 hours to reach the topmost point of Kheerganga. The hot springs, located at a height of 2,950m, will entice you to take a dip in the hot water after the gruelling trek.
Enroute to Kheerganga you will find 5-6 stalls where you will mostly find Maggi and tea being served. However, we also suggest you to carry protein bars, biscuits, apples, etc. as sometimes these stalls are out of stock, so to avoid hunger carry some food along with you. You don’t have to worry about water, as the massive waterfalls have really fresh water to fill up in your bottles.
A good pair of water-resistant trekking boots that will provide you comfort, grip and speed will be best for the trek. Make sure to break in your boots before starting out to prevent foot sores.
