Rishikesh is famous for Laxman Jhool and Ram Jhoola, which are two suspension bridges linking the town with the highway over river Ganges.

The distance is 12 Kms, mostly even till 4-5 kms and then gets steep till you reach dizzying heights to this beautiful temple.


Neelkanth means Blue Throat, or The Blue Throated One, which is a reference to Lord Shiva. According to legends Neelkanth is the axis of Sagar Manthan which was done jointly by Gods and Demons.
