Tapovan
About Tapovan
The traveller hub of Rishikesh on the hillside above the old Laxman Jhula, packed with yoga schools, ashrams, cafés, guesthouses and shops selling yoga gear. Most of the drop-in classes, teacher trainings and backpacker hostels are here, which makes it the easiest part of town to meet other solo travellers. Rishikesh is officially vegetarian and alcohol-free.
