Along the shores of the Ganges and in the mountains nearby there are many ashrams, as well as numerous communities of Indian sadhus.
The river - Ganga is one of the attractions of Rishikesh, the sandu and rocky shores gather hundreds of people daily to perform sacred ceremonies that capture the spirit, for example on Triveni Ghat you can admire one of the many images of Ganga Aarti, There you can visit the ancient sacred temple of Bharat Mandir, which is connected with Vishnu.
This is the starting point for pilgrimages to Hindu holy sites and places of power, such as the pilgrime`s route in the Himalayas - visiting four main temples - the temple of Yamuna in Yamanotri, the temple of Gangi Goddess in Gangothri, the temple of Shiva in Kennatha and the temple of Vishnu in Badrianath. And also the sacred confluence of rivers that give rise to the Ganges - Rudraprayag - the confluence of Alaknanda and Mandakini, Devprayag - the confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi. Bhadrathi is considered the official origin of Ganga.
In the 80’s, when yoga only came to the west, here arose the famous ashram Beatles, which is still preserved and you can go there with a tour. The Vasishtha Cave is not only a sacred place where the sage meditated and wrote his treatises, but also a unique place of power, to get there quite easily, and the atmosphere inside such that you will want to return again and again.
The Temple of Shiva - Nilkanth Mahadev Temple - fascinates with its architecture, about it you can read in this article.
From Tapovan, where the school is located, there are many interesting trails to the mountains, you can see waterfalls (Nir waterfall), mountain rivers, admire the local flora and fauna.
Rishikesh is very different from other cities in India, it is a popular spiritual and tourist center, but nevertheless maintains a relaxed atmosphere and spirituality. Imagine sitting on the shore of the Ganges in meditation or watching its powerful current, thinking about life. You will see a lot of rituals that are part of their culture for the locals, but for us they are amazing and unusual.
This unique environment creates a deep emotional and spiritual impression for all our students.
