Ayurveda & Ashrams
The quiet sector between the bridges: ayurveda clinics, state yoga schools, the Sivananda Ashram. Rishikesh without the shop window.
The quiet sector between the bridges where Rishikesh does its real work: ayurvedic clinics running full panchakarma courses, state yoga schools, the Sivananda Ashram with its free classes. No neon, no souvenirs, just timetables, discipline and the river. People come here not to look but to practise.
