Rishikesh has about 60,000 inhabitants and is situated at an altitude of 356 m. From Delhi it is 225 km, of the important pilgrimage city of Haridwar 24 km. Rishikesh is the starting point for pilgrims to the holy places in the Garhwal Mountains: Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri, Gangotri and Gaumukh, the source of the Ganges. Situated at the foot of the Himalayas located Rishikesh is a famous pilgrimage town. By Rishikesh flows of the Ganges, which not only through mythological significance as a holy river features, but also with clear water and scenic beauty. The Ganges leaves the Himalayas here and then flows on through the plains of northern India to the Bay of Bengal. In Rishikesh there are a number of temples and ashrams, both historical and also built in more recent times. The city attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists both from India as well as from Western countries. It houses a number of yoga centers, which look back partly on a long tradition. Rishikesh therefore has the reputation of being the "yoga capital" of the world to be. Hindus believe that meditation in Rishikesh, as well as a bath in the holy river Ganges, closer to salvation ( Moksha ) leads. Local attractions include the Triveni Ghat and Bharat Mandir the oldest temple of the city.

The Ganges ( Sanskrit, f, गंगा or गङ्गा, Ganga ) is over 2600 km long second largest river of India and Bangladesh ( South Asia ). It flows through the great plain south of the Himalayas, which is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The Ganges is the holiest river of the Hindus and also a very large burden caused by sewage and pollutants. The Ganges is the habitat of rare and little-explored underway dolphin and the Gangeshais about which there is also little known. Most Indian religions is the Ganga, as Indians call the Ganges or its personification as a goddess, holy. The bathroom in him should of sins and cleanse promises absolution. Many Hindus want if possible to the Ganges to die - preferably in Varanasi and knowledge - scattered her ashes in the river. The Himalayas (also Himalaya ) is a high mountain system in Asia between the Indian subcontinent in the south and the Tibetan highlands in the north. The mountain range extends over a length of approximately 3000 kilometers from Pakistan to Burma (Myanmar) and reaches a maximum width of 350 km. In the Himalayas there are ten of the fourteen mountains on earth, whose summits are over 8,000 meters high (" eight thousand "). Underneath is the Mount Everest, which with 8848 meters above sea level the highest mountain in the world. The high Himalayas in the strict sense are up over 8000 m high mountain ranges, which extend between the hill areas of the Ganges Plain and the furrow of the headwaters of the Indus and Brahmaputra : extend (Tsangpo Mazang / Damqog / Mǎquán or Yarlung / Yǎlǔ Zàngbù). In the north of the high Himalaya is by the Indus-Brahmaputra-line of the chain of the Trans Himalaya (consisting of Gangdise and Nyainqentanglha ), the Edge Mountains separated the Tibetan highlands. His greatest heights reached the Himalayas in the north. The southern foothills of the Himalayas, who accompany him on the whole length, are Siwaliks (also Churia or Margalla Hills called). They are the zones of the interior Terai separated from the main chains. South emphasize this in their belts Bhabhar and Terai from. In addition, the chains of the southern Himalaya, comparable only reach the heights of the Alps, as are Front Himalaya ( Lesser Himalaya "Little Himalaya") differed from the high Himalayas. In particularly steep slopes, mountain roads are as serpentine created. The topography often allows only a narrow road width and makes part of the construction of engineering structures, such as tunnels and bridges, necessary.
