A scared bathing spot on the bank of the river Ganga where devotees take holy dips and offer prayers. Devotees bathe here with the belief that the water has the power to purify them. Triveni Ghat is so called because it is believed to be the confluence of Ganga, the Yamuna and the legendary Saraswati River. It is an interesting place to be at dawn when people make offerings of milk to the river and fed the fish, after sunset, as the part of Arti ceremony, lamps are floated on the water and provide a spectacular view.

A suspension bridge across Ganga situated 5 Kms. from Rishikesh, on the way to Badrinath. It was built in 1929 to replace a rope bridge. It was believed that Ram's brother Lakshman crossed the Ganga River here on a jute rope. On the West Bank, there is a Lakshman temple also. This area is quieter than the town center and is very picturesque. Along the river on the northeast are secluded beaches.

A suspension bridge between the Shivananda Ashram and the Swargashram. It provides an alternative to a boat ride from one bank of Ganga to another. Its construction is similar to that of the Lakshman Jhoola.
