A Photo Blog Through Rishikesh, India

Rishikesh is the super chill and gorgeous yoga capital of the world. Located east of Delhi, and in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, Rishikesh is a haven for foodies, yogis, and those desperate to get out of the chaotic mess that India can be. The latter being what Garrett and I were doing. We escaped the craziness and instantly felt better after arriving here. We could breath better, stroll the streets without getting seriously harassed, and just hang out.

We aren’t yogis, and wanted some chill time. So that’s what we did.

Here is our time in Rishikesh through our Instagram photosโ€ฆ

Moo

Cows, cows, and more cows. I love cows! How cute are they?! They are fed, free, and look pretty well off. I mean, after all, they are pretty much worshiped here, so I wouldn’t expect much less, but still, it’s really nice to see these sweet animals roaming around. Their shit is everywhere thoughโ€ฆ

 

Just Cross Me

The bridges. There are two bridges connecting the two sides of Rishikeshโ€ฆ Uhmโ€ฆ GORGEOUS. Monkeys, cows, crowds, motorbikes, everything and everyone uses these bridges. They make for a dramatic addition to the river shores.

That Spicy Chai

THE MASALA CHAI! This is my all time fav tea, like ever, in the whole wide world. You need to drink it and lots of it.

The way I like it: extra spicy

Want to learn how to make it? Call up Amit at Cooking Masala. He’s an amazing person and will teach you step by step how to make the best masala chai. He makes his own spice blends, and it’s the only cup of masala I had that was already the way I like it, spicy.

(Sometimes it can be too watered down, or too milky. His is literally perfection.)

Nice office, but not efficient

Crappy wifi situation, but heyโ€ฆ look at this office view!

PS- Do yourself a favor and eat at Little Buddha Cafe. This view and excellent food = a win.

Build Me Up!

Awesome architecture

Sunset viewsโ€ฆ

The colorful shopping experienceโ€ฆ

We def went shopping here!

The Ganges River

Seeing this river, crossing it everyday, and chilling next to/on it everyday was freaking awesome! Soooo pretty!!

Vibrantly colored and beautiful, Rishikesh.

  1. I have been to Rishikesh many times and found the best place to visit in whole India. Also, the best part about this place is that you can found two things at the same place that is adventure as well as religious things.
