Sunrise & Sunset Spots

Best views in Rishikesh

🌅

🌅 Sunrise

Triveni Ghat

Watch the Ganga glow orange at dawn. Fishermen casting nets, pilgrims bathing — the real Rishikesh.

🌄

🌄 Sunset

Ganga Aarti, Triveni Ghat

7pm every evening — priests perform the fire ceremony as the Ganga turns golden. Unforgettable.

Local Tips

Best time: September to November, February to May. Avoid monsoon for rafting

Rafting is not allowed in monsoon (July-August) — rivers are too dangerous

Triveni Ghat Aarti is at 7pm sharp every day — arrive 30 mins early for good spot

Stay on the Tapovan side (near Laxman Jhula) for best cafe and river experience

Beatles Ashram is open 8am-5pm, ₹150 entry — completely worth it
