Triveni Ghat is the most revered religious spot for tourists flocking to Rishikesh. Immensely important as the confluence of India’s three main rivers—the Ganga, the Yamuna and the Saraswati. Other than that, this ghat also hosts the Maha Aarti every evening, a ritual that has people coming from all over the world for its grandeur and religious value. It is also the main bathing ghat in Rishikesh, all the more important since this city is the last mountainous place before River Ganga touches the Indo-Gangetic plains. Quite serene throughout the day, this ghat sees a number of yoga practitioners as well. An evening walk near the ghat will have you pore over the aarti ritual as thousands of floating lamps light up the river water. Not to be missed.
