Rishikesh
Rishikesh (Hindi: ऋषिकेश, pronounced RIH-shih-kaysh), a small town in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, is famously known as the "yoga capital" (or "Yog Nagari"). Scenically located where the Ganges comes down from the Himalayas, Rishikesh catapulted to Western fame when the Beatles dropped by for a visit to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram.
