Laxman Jhula is one of the most iconic landmarks of Rishikesh, stretching across the Ganga as a long suspension bridge. Built in 1929, it connects the lively Tapovan area to Jonk village and offers stunning views of the flowing river, surrounding hills, and vibrant ashrams. According to legend, this is the place where Laxman, the brother of Lord Rama, crossed the river using a jute rope, making it a spiritually important site.

Walking on Laxman Jhula is a beautiful experience as you feel the cool breeze, hear the river below, and see temples, cafes, and shops on both sides. The bridge becomes especially scenic during sunrise and sunset. It is not just a crossing point but a cultural symbol of Rishikesh, attracting pilgrims, photographers, and adventure seekers throughout the year.
