Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat, Rishikesh

Don't let your Rishikesh wellness retreat pass by without witnessing the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat or Parmarth Niketan. As someone who's been there with family, trust me, it's a transformative experience. Picture this: the sun sets, chants fill the air, and the river gleams with countless floating lamps. It happens between 6pm and 7pm — a perfect way to wrap up your day. I always leave feeling more centered and calm. Make sure to join in; it's the essence of Rishikesh's spiritual vibe.
