Enroll in an hourly or daily session with yoga retreats and training centres, such as Anand Prakash Yoga Ashram. The institution also offers modest accommodation for those seeking long-term courses. anandprakashyogaashram.com

INDULGE IN AN ITALIAN BREAKFAST

A Tavola Con Te is one of the tallest icons of Italian cuisine in the temple town of Rishikesh. Founded by an Italian couple, the restaurant procures its key ingredients such as pasta, olive oil, cheese, and canned peeled tomatoes from Italy for a more authentic experience. It is also one of the few places to offer woodfired pizzas in the city, besides a generous menu featuring dishes such as verdure griliate, tagliatelle besciamella e funghi, and al capperi e olive di kalamata. atavolaconte.com

ENJOY UNPARALLELED VIEWS ON A ZIP-LINE

Besides holistic wellness, the other big factor that draws visitors to Rishikesh is the bevy of adventure activities on offer here. Flying Fox is one of the leading operators to follow international safety standards in the region. Try zip-lining 200 feet above River Ganges while absorbing spectacular views of the Himalayan foothills. One can also try the more popular white river rafting experience at Shivpuri—the epicenter of adventure activities in Rishikesh. flyingfox.asia
