Ram Jhula

Ram Jhula is an iron suspension bridge built in 1986, spanning the Ganges River and connecting the Sivananda Nagar area of Muni Ki Reti to the Swargashram area in Rishikesh. The 750-foot-long bridge is a prominent landmark and serves as a vital link between various ashrams, temples, and spiritual centers on both sides of the river. Ram Jhula is a larger counterpart to Lakshman Jhula and offers stunning panoramic views of the Ganges River and surrounding landscapes. The bridge is frequented by pedestrians, cyclists, and pilgrims, creating a vibrant spiritual atmosphere. The area around Ram Jhula is home to numerous ashrams, including Parmarth Niketan, and is a hub for spiritual activities, yoga centers, and meditation retreats. The bridge serves as both a functional crossing and a spiritual landmark, symbolizing the connection between different aspects of Rishikesh's spiritual heritage.
