Lakshman Jhula Bridge

Laxman Jhula is the most famous and photographed suspension bridge in Rishikesh, a 450-foot iron span crossing the holy Ganges and connecting Tapovan on the east bank to Jonk village on the west. First built as a jute rope bridge and later reconstructed in 1939, it is steeped in Hindu mythology — Lord Laxman is said to have crossed the Ganges here on jute ropes. The bridge is lined with vibrant temples, cafes, and shops, and offers stunning views of the Ganges flowing through the mountains.
