If you are also preparing to click some amazing photographs on your next trip, then definitely include these locations in your bucket list. Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula: As soon as the name of Rishikesh comes, the center of iconic photography, the scene of Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula comes before the eyes. A wide-angle shot of the Ganga taken from above from these swings can be a great addition to any photography portfolio. The view here is very magical at sunrise, when the golden rays of the sun fall on the blue waters of the Ganga. Photographers also get a great opportunity to capture the ‘street life’ and daily routine of the sadhus here. Beatles Ashram (Chaurasi Kutia): A Confluence of Nostalgia and Peace If you like ‘rustic’ and vintage style photography, then Beatles Ashram should be your first choice. The ruined buildings here, the graffiti on the walls and the greenery spread all around are no less than a film set. This place gives full opportunity to photographers to show their creativity. The artistic structures and forest environment here are considered the most suitable place for portrait photography. Neer Garh Waterfall: The true color of nature The real thrill of photography in Rishikesh starts near Neer Garh Waterfall. Milky water falling from the mountains, huge rocks and dense forests all around – this view is no less than heaven. If you are interested in long exposure photography, this is the best spot to make the waterfall water look silky. The pure air and peace here will inspire you to take great shots. Ganga Aarti: Capture the spirituality A photography trip in Rishikesh is not complete unless you cover the Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan or Triveni Ghat. The confluence of the light of lamps, the echo of conch shells and the devotion of devotees—this scene adds life to your photographs. For lovers of low-light photography, this is both a challenge and a great opportunity. The energy and vibrance that you will find in the pictures here is difficult to find anywhere else. So next time you visit Rishikesh, don’t forget to pack your tripod and camera!
