Overview
Ram Jhula, an architectural marvel, stands proudly as one of Rishikesh’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1986, this suspension bridge stretches 750 feet across the sacred River Ganga, linking Shivananda Nagar to Swargashram. Known for its impressive engineering, the bridge not only serves as a crucial link between the religious ashrams on either side but also offers visitors a breathtaking panoramic view of the mighty Ganges and the surrounding tranquil landscape, with the majestic Himalayas in the background.
Weather and Best Time to Visit
Rishikesh enjoys a temperate climate, with summers (March to June) being warm and winters (November to February) being cool. The best time to visit Ram Jhula is during the cooler months, from October to March, when the weather is pleasant for a leisurely walk and sightseeing. During the summer months, early mornings and late afternoons are ideal to avoid the heat.
Timings
Ram Jhula is open throughout the day, with no fixed visiting hours. However, it is recommended to visit early in the morning or during sunset for the most serene and visually stunning views. The early hours offer a peaceful atmosphere, while the evening presents a spectacular view of the setting sun over the river.
