Rishikesh is a small town in the Himalayas. The Ganga River flows through it. Lots of tourists visit it, people go there to meet with saints, learn yoga and bathe in Ganga. People also do adventure sports like white water rafting, swimming, and trekking. You can also float Diya boats. They are made of marigold, paper bowls and finally Diya flames. The Ganga comes from a glacier called Gangotri and the water is very cold. There are 2 banks. On 1 side there are 2 ways to go in the river: sand and stairs. And on the other side there are only stairs. To go to the other side you can go on 1 of two bridges, one on the side with stairs (the one with sand as well) or go with the other bridge closer to the mountain. Oh, I forgot to mention there was also a ferry to get back from either side of the river.
