Rishikesh is also considered as the starting point to the Char Dham destinations of Uttarkhand, which are Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangothri and Yamunothri. Rishikesh is located at the foothills of the Himalayas in the state of Uttarkhand. One of the holiest cities, Rishikesh is considered to be an important pilgrimage centre for the Hindus. The main temples in Rishikesh are Trayambakeshwar temple and Bharat Mandir. Lakshman Jhula, a suspension bridge, is a landmark of Rishikesh. Triveni ghat is the most popular bathing ghat. At dusk, the ghat transforms into a spectacular sight with the priests performing the aarti with huge lighted lamps and pilgrims floating diyas (floral floats with small earthen lamps) in remembrance to their deceased ancestors. Accommodation in Rishikesh is found on both sides of the Ganga River, around the Lakshman Jhula, and along the high bank. A lot of tourists from abroad come to Rishikesh to join the numerous yoga centres and to learn about spirituality. Numerous ashrams have come up around the river where one can stay if you can follow a few rules set by the management. Lodging, meals and classes are free in these ashrams, though one can make a donation. Shanti Kunj, Mohyal Ashram, Swarg Ashram, Maharishi Ashram and Prem Nagar Ashram are open to devotees. A lot of budget Rishikesh hotels are just basic rooms with common bathrooms. If you want to stay close to the river, Ganga Guest House, Hotel Ishan and Aggarwal House are some of the choices available. The room rent may be as low as Rs. 200 for a basic room to Rs. 600 for a room with a better view. For a quieter stay, take a room in one of the Rishikesh hotels along the high bank towards the greener part of the town. High Bank Peasants Cottage, Bhandari Swiss Cottage, and Mount Valley Mamma Cottage are some of the Rishikesh hotels that cost from Rs. 200 onwards. Though budget Rishikesh hotels are found in abundance, mid-range and top-end hotels are in relatively short supply. Jaipur Inn, Tapovan Resort, Green View and Omkarananda Hotel are some of the mid-range Rishikesh hotels. These hotels come with river view rooms, attached baths, TV, roof-top restaurants and free yoga classes. Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam (GMVN) has three properties in Rishikesh. Glass House on the Ganges is the most luxurious hotel in Rishikesh which has 15 cottages and other facilities like swimming pool, spa, and a multi-cuisine restaurant. Hotel Great Ganga and Vasundhara Palace are four star hotels. These two hotels have tastefully designed rooms, roof-top pool and restaurant, and spa with river views. These Rishikesh hotels range from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 5000. Rishikesh is well connected by road and rail. For More Info: Rishikesh Hotels and Rishikesh Tourism
