Rishikesh News Updates

Coronavirus in Rishikesh

For a few months this year, tourism in Rishikesh came to a halt. The state did not allow entry to tourists and Indians from certain states till September. For Rishikesh, tourism is a big and important business and many locals are employed in the industry. In September, rafting in Rishikesh is open again. This is a mainstay that brings in lots of local tourists every year. Sounds like good news for Rishikesh. Unfortunately shortly after opening for business again, many rafting guides began testing positive for the corona virus. The reason? The tourists were not following rules.

India is a very crowded country, even in a small town like Rishikesh. Many logical corona virus measures would not be quite logically implementable here or anywhere in India as people live in close proximity in crowded areas.

When can Rishikesh be safe again? When can the world be safe again for travels? Let's hope the corona vaccine will relieve us of this terrible period of time soon. Meanwhile, you will have to wait for that yoga retreat. But if you just want to practice with a particular yoga teacher in Rishikesh, many have started zoom classes. Check it out. Even some satsang teachers have gone online. So all is not lost, thankfully.
