Rishikesh, located in the state of Uttarakhand, has earned its place among India’s 40 major tourist destinations as part of the central government’s tourism development initiative.
Rishikesh, celebrated for its serene setting along the Ganges River and its reputation as the “Yoga Capital of the World,” offers an unparalleled mix of spiritual retreats, adventure activities, and cultural experiences. This inclusion is expected to catalyze investments in infrastructure and services, ensuring a better experience for the millions of visitors who flock to the region each year.
Uttarakhand’s tourism department has already embarked on several projects aimed at enhancing connectivity, promoting eco-tourism, and preserving the region’s unique heritage. The recognition not only places Rishikesh on the national tourism map but also strengthens Uttarakhand’s position as a prime travel destination. The move is poised to boost the state’s economy through increased visitor numbers and enhanced global visibility.
