A good friend who has been coming here for 20 plus years calls it “RishiCash” as it is growing so fast, and restaurants and cafes, are starting to outpace temples. But it is still an amazing place, with wonderful temples, ashrams, Kirtan, and outdoor activities. A must place to visit, ideally for a few days or longer is the Anand Prakash Ashram in Topovan, or The Sri Jungle Ashram just outside of Rishikesh. With Traditional Yoga, with a string focus on the spirituality, with all Eight Limbs of Yoga, including asana, pranayama, meditations, chanting, great food, and wonderful people. Fabulous places run by Dr Yogrishi Vishviketu (Guru Ji) and the Akhanda Yoga Institute.
