Rishikesh – place where mystics hang out
When we arrived to Rishikesh, at the backpackers’ community around the Lakshman Jhula bridge, we were pretty surprised and could not believe that this is an Indian town. Before we had spent a week in Varanasi, which made us think that India is a very beautiful and amazing place, but could be pretty dirty.
But Rishikesh appeared to be a place that is very taken care of, hidden in nature, at the foothills of the Himalayas, where an absolutely clean and fast-flowing Ganga starts its way.
