About Rishikesh for Solo Travelers
The world's yoga capital at the foot of the Himalayas — solo travelers study with genuine masters, raft the Ganges, and find Rishikesh the most socially welcoming and spiritually open city in India.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Rishikesh is the yoga capital of the world and one of India's most solo-friendly destinations — the ashram culture means solo travelers are the norm, the Laxman and Ram Jhula suspension bridges connect the two banks socially, and the white-water rafting groups solo travelers naturally. The cafés along the ghats are excellent solo sitting spots. Very safe for solo women by Indian standards. The evening Ganga Aarti here is beautiful and less overwhelming than Varanasi.
