Rishikund-the holy tank in Rishikesh, It is said to be blessed by the Yamuna river and hence the river is considered to be holy.
Haridwar and Rishikesh are fascinating in their own right, and for a multitude of reasons. As a traveler, you’ll generally associate to Haridwar as an out-and-out pilgrim destination, while Rishikesh gets viewed as a place where you can camp and go for rafting. There’s no denying that that’s true, but both these places are so much more than what meets the eye. Often termed as twin national heritage cities, both these places have a lot in store for the traveler in you. While Haridwar lets you soak in its religious aura, Rishikesh presents a different proposition altogether with a great mix of recreation of sightseeing.
