Local customs in Rishikesh

Rishikesh is located in the state of Uttarakhand, where the sale of meat and alcohol is restricted in many areas, particularly around the river and temples. During our time in Rishikesh, meals will be vegetarian and alcohol is not served. This is part of the local culture and tradition, and many people find it adds to the peaceful atmosphere of the area.
