Patna Waterfall
Around 7 km from Lakshman Jhula, Patna Waterfalls sit beside Patna village. The highlight is the limestone cave nestled right next to the falling water.

Sage Vasishtha - guru of Lord Rama - meditated here 10,000 years ago. You will also visit nearby Jesus Cave, where Jesus is said to have stayed three days during his Rishikesh visit.
Parmarth Niketan
One of the largest ashrams in Rishikesh, Parmarth Niketan hosts the world-famous Ganga Aarti every evening on the banks of the holy river - chanting, fire lamps and deep stillness as the sun sets over the Himalayas.
Ganga Beach Meditation
Sit by the soft white sands of Mother Ganga as gentle waves carry your awareness inward. The teachers guide a special open-air meditation on the riverbank - a deeply healing experience surrounded by the mountains and pure flowing energy.
Kunjapuri Temple
