Dosto,
Rishikesh is also known as the gateway to the Himalayas and is located around 25 kilometres away from another holy city, Haridwar. This place is famous religious point of view and rafting also.
The place gets its name after Lord Vishnu who appeared to 'Raibhya Rishi',[3] as a result of his tapasya (austerities), as Lord Hrishikesh [4]. In Skanda Purana, this area is known as 'Kubjamrak' as Lord Vishnu appeared, under a mango tree.
You will find some exclusive photos of Rishikesh here.
