The best time to go to Rishikesh is generally from late September to mid-November and from early March to late April, as these periods offer pleasant weather and a comfortable experience.During these months, the temperatures are mild, ranging from around 20°C to 30°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like white-water rafting, trekking, and exploring the ashrams and temples. The monsoon season (July and August) brings heavy rainfall, which can disrupt travel plans and make river activities challenging due to high water levels. The winter months (December to February) can be quite chilly, especially in the evenings, with temperatures dropping to around 5°C.Couples looking for a serene and picturesque escape will find these shoulder seasons great for enjoying the natural beauty of the Ganges River and the surrounding Himalayan foothills. The weather allows for romantic walks along the riverbanks, visits to the iconic Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula bridges, and participation in evening Ganga aarti ceremonies without the discomfort of extreme heat or cold.For those interested in yoga and meditation, these temperate periods are excellent for attending retreats and classes. Many ashrams and yoga centres are in full swing, offering a wide range of programmes.
