1
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:22,600
"Spiritual music"

2
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:27,500
Greetings people, welcome back to my channel 
'Follow Jack'

3
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,400
and welcome to the Yoga capital of India, 
Rishikesh

4
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:37,300
we'll see everything about it including why 
it's considered as the Yoga capital

5
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,700
and we'll see what are the important things 
here

6
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,600
along with the adventurous things like bungee 
jumping, zip-line and river rafting

7
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,700
and we'll cover most important spots such 
as Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula bridge

8
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,900
Triyambakeshwar mandir and the famous 'Deepa 
aaradhana'

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,800
then I'll tell about my hostel experience 
from here

10
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:03,600
let's move to the video

11
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:15,900
"Majestic music"

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,800
"Majestic music"

13
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:22,500
"Majestic music"

14
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,600
now time is 6.30 in the morning

15
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:31,500
now we're at the river banks of Ganges for 
small rest

16
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,400
the sceneries are very good and many people 
are doing Yoga here

17
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,200
some of them are busy at jogging and running

18
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:45,100
and this guy is doing meditation after taking 
a bath

19
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,000
so this bridge is called as Janki Setu

20
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:54,600
there are two more bridges here called as 
Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula, we'll visit those 
two also

21
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:59,500
today I have ideas of doing zip-line and 
river rafting

22
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600
river rafting path will cross this side also 
I guess

23
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:08,500
they seperated that too in 3 divisions: 9 
Kms 12 and 24 Kms

24
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,400
I think 18 Kms are also there, it depends 
on the agency

25
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:18,300
I'm not sure about booking, so I'll do it 
via the hostel I'm staying

26
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,200
I have to say about this hostel, it's really 
good

27
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:28,100
and it has beautiful vibe and it has many 
bookings left

28
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,000
because as I done late booking in night, 
I have very less chance to mingle with others

29
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:37,900
they provide kitchen, breakfast, lunch, dinner 
and everything

30
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,400
so we don't need to go outside for purchasing 
goods

31
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:47,300
I tried their food in the morning and it's 
worth the price

32
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,200
come let's see, I'm very hungry now

33
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:56,200
let's drink chai and we'll explore everything

34
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,600
this bridge is called as Janki Setu bridge

35
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,300
the length of the bridge is 274 meters,

36
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,900
due to the high number of tourists, they 
constructed this bridge for 48 crores

37
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,800
next to Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula, these 
3 bridges

38
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,700
are main tourist spot here and

39
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,600
people will take photos and do walking here

40
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:24,500
we can access this bridge via vehicle too, 
they have dedicated lanes for that

41
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Ganges river looked very nice from here

42
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:34,300
2 Kms from this bridge we saw a local tea 
shop in streets

43
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,200
we decided to have tea break and we also 
ordered butter bun

44
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:44,100
it was very good, vendor tossed the bread 
in frying pan after spreading butter in the 
bun

45
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,000
that tea and bun combo was heavenly

46
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:58,600
I already told about the bridges Ram Jhula 
and Laksham Jhula, we visted Lakshman Jhula 
and it's closed for now

47
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:03,000
maybe for maintanance work

48
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:07,900
we have a nearby temple called Neelkanth 
mandir as it's in our bucket list

49
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,800
we can't go from here, we need to take a 
long route

50
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:17,700
this is the Neelkanth Mahadev temple

51
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,600
this is located 30 Kms from Rishikesh, it's 
open from 5 A.M to 6 P.M

52
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:27,000
the architecture is amazing,

53
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:30,600
it has 11 steep floor like structure

54
00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:34,400
we need to leave our footwear outside as 
usual

55
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:39,300
I saw many things in this temple, each floor 
had many room like structure

56
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,200
those rooms had many dieties we worship

57
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:48,100
goddess Parvathi was present in many avatars, 
same goes for Lord Shiva also

58
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,200
we can purchase Rudhraksha or any holy ornaments 
from the shops here

59
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:02,100
they also sell small statues made of many 
materials

60
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,000
one pandit tied a rope in my hand and encouraged 
me to do milk abishekam to Linga statue

61
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:11,200
I gave 20 Rs as offerings to him

62
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:16,100
they only allow us till the 10th floor

63
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,000
and the view of the ganges from that floor 
looked majestic, see for yourself

64
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:29,400
guys now we're at the top of Neelkanth Mahadev 
temple

65
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:34,300
so here we can find one shrine of lord Shiva

66
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,900
he is known as Thirumukeshwar

67
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,800
so one Lingam surrounded by snake like structure

68
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:47,700
and one pandit was here who gave blessings 
to us earlier

69
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,600
he smeared holy powder in my forehead and 
stamped it like thrisool(trident)

70
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:57,500
that's all we can't go any further floor

71
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,400
it's closed here and look the view of the 
Ganges from here

72
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:07,300
many have alreadt started river rafting and

73
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,200
we'll go there next, it seems different

74
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:17,100
water is calm at many places and

75
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,000
at few spots it seems rough, I'm going to 
be excited

76
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:26,900
look there are many small temples here

77
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,800
this is the part of this temple and that 
one is a different one

78
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:36,700
there are many ashrams, hotels, hostels, 
houses

79
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,900
and shops, this view is so good

80
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,800
without wasting any time, I travelled 13 
Kms to reach the zip-line

81
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:50,700
this is the GangaZip adventure from Rishikesh

82
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,600
compared to other adventure activities this 
zip line is very cheap

83
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,500
they charge 1500 Rs for per person, if you 
want to travel in this

84
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,500
you must below 110 Kgs so the zip line can 
support you well

85
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,400
before starting this trip they will get our 
details and signature in certain documents

86
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:14,800
to be honest, this is like a declaration 
form that says they're not responsible for 
your life

87
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:19,700
after that documentation and payment, they 
will give some instructions

88
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,600
like how to travel and how to stop for any 
emergency

89
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:29,500
then they will give us a trial, my good time 
there was two girls while I'm doing this

90
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,400
they're eager than me so they both preceded 
me and I did in the last

91
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:39,300
because it's first time in my life and I 
shot a 360 degree footage for you

92
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,200
look this, so you can also experience my 
ride

93
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:46,200
"shouting in joy"

94
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:51,100


95
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,000


96
00:07:56,100 --> 00:08:00,900


97
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,800


98
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:10,700


99
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,600


100
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:20,500


101
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,400


102
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:33,500
they dropped us in one-way, and we done a 
small trek fro 5 minutes to reach the return 
point

103
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,400
I was the one who has to be do this first 
this time and this one seems very high than 
the last one

104
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:43,300
if you visit Rishikesh, give it a try at 
this GangaZipline

105
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,200
"classical music"

106
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:53,100
"classical music"

107
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,000
"classical music"

108
00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:02,900
"classical music"

109
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,800
"classical music"

110
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:12,700
"classical music"

111
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,600
"classical music"

112
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:20,600
"classical music"

113
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:23,500
-How do you feel now?

114
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,400
I feel many things and I want to share that 
to the world after I hit the down floor

115
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:32,700
zipline was awesome and another level

116
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,600
the first time I feared that it would get 
teared, as the gravity pull was high

117
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:42,500
I thinked of dropping on the rafting people

118
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,400
those were crazy thoughts, but this ride 
is worth every penny

119
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:51,100
it's the second cheapest activity and the 
cheapest one is river rafting

120
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,800
and we're heading to that next,

121
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:58,700
I'm also excited for that, because I never 
done this before

122
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,600
I think I done that in my childhood with 
my parents, but I never doone this after 
that

123
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:08,500
so we're trying that for the first time in 
Rishikesh

124
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,400
you can see that cable from here, it seems 
close from here

125
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:17,700
but at the top it's very frightening

126
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,600
I went to hostel and changed my dress for 
rafting and waited at the pickup point

127
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:27,500
the good thing here is the agent who arranges 
this river rafting

128
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,400
they picked up from our convenient location, 
it was easy for us and the 5 members travelling 
with in this adventure

129
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:36,500
we travelled towards to the start point of 
rafting

130
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,400
before reaching that point we saw many guys 
doing the rafting

131
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:46,300
and it made us excited, finally we reached 
the starting point

132
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,200
they gave the required gears like helmets, 
life jackets for safety purpose

133
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:56,100
we need to wear those to start river rafting

134
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,000
they will divide us in small teams, one raft 
can accommodate 8-10 members

135
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:05,900
my draft was filled with boys, they all from 
Mumbai

136
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,800
they're friendly and joyful

137
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:15,700
they made me feel good about my river rafting 
experience

138
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,600
I had small fear of dropping from raft and 
swept way in the current water

139
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:25,500
but this experience is a memorable one for 
me

140
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,400


141
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:35,300
"crowd shouting"

142
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,200
"crowd shouting"

143
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:45,100
"crowd shouting"

144
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:50,000
"crowd shouting"

145
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:54,900
"crowd shouting"

146
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,800
"crowd shouting"

147
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:04,700
"crowd shouting"

148
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,600
"crowd shouting"

149
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:13,600
"crowd shouting"

150
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:18,500
after reaching the midway we can drop from 
raft and float in the river

151
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,400
so everyone were floating and enjoyed the 
ride

152
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:28,300
the travel distance is 13 Kms and it took 
1 to 1.5 hours to complete this

153
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,200
guys it was very fun, and I never expected 
this much

154
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:38,100
I was so excited and

155
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,200
- How was our gang?

156
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:46,100
you guys had another level of fun and we 
floated in the river

157
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,000


158
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:55,900
[UNKNOWN WORD]

159
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,800
we're lifting this so we can help them to 
place in the starting point

160
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:05,700
it's very sunny here

161
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,600
they have slippers and I had no footwear 
with me now

162
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:14,800
we reached the hostel again and changed our 
dresses

163
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:19,700
and we decided to see the Light showing worship(deepa 
aarthi) at Ganges river

164
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,600
this event happens at Triveni Ghat and this 
place always densely crowded

165
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:29,500
as you can see this crowd, many claimed that 
it's beautiful to witness in-person

166
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,400
and I realised that, they organized it neatly

167
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:39,300
all devotees will wait for an hour before 
the event starts

168
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,200
and then they will leave, special followers

169
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:48,000
who are paid to stand near the pandits and 
they will do pooja with their family

170
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:52,900
they also drenched them in Ganges to throw 
away their sins

171
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,800
they also do the final rites for dead people 
here

172
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:02,700
this Aarthi looked beautiful and

173
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,400
imagine that beauty in a drone shot

174
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:11,300
"classical music"

175
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,200
"classical music"

176
00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:21,100
"classical music"

177
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,000
"classical music"

178
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:30,900
"classical music"

179
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,800
"classical music"

180
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,100
how beautiful it is from the top angle?

181
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,200
in this crowd I met a Tamilian, he was expressed 
his joy after meeting us

182
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:49,100
he said that he is going to leave this place 
the next day for Badrinath, I talked with 
him for a while

183
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,000
then we played with this kids

184
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:57,900
after sometime the crowd was diluted, then

185
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,700
I examined the lamp used for aarthi

186
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,600
next I visited Ram Jhula, it was built in 
1986 and it seems very strong till now

187
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:11,500
I saw this bridge while I was in river rafting, 
but the night view is awesome

188
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,800
these lightings and decorations are looking 
good

189
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:20,700
police are gaurding on both sides, because 
they will never allow vehicles after the 
place gets crowded

190
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,600
this bridge is the only point that joins 
the two places,

191
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:29,900
and if not for this bridge, you have to travel 
15 Kms extra to reach other side

192
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,800
this Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula bridges 
are must see spots for you in Rishikesh

193
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:39,700
after RamJuhla you need to visit a statue 
of lord Shiva nearby

194
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,600
this statue looked familier, then I realised 
that it's the same one

195
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:49,100
from the 2013 floods in news

196
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,000
we may thought this statue was grounded but 
in reality it's situated at a high position 
from land

197
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,900
it was horrific to imagine that disaster

198
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,800
there is an ashramam behind this but it was 
closed while we visited there

199
00:16:01,900 --> 00:16:06,700
there are many things we need to see in Rishikesh 
apart from the things I have shown in this 
video

200
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,800
I can explore these things only with my one 
day time limit

201
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:15,700
I hope it was useful for you, if you visit 
Rishikesh

202
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,600
don't forget to visit these temples, ashrams, 
bridges and adventure activities

203
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:25,500
you will get an unforgettable experience, 
the video ends here

204
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,800
thanks for watching guys, we'll meet in another 
place similar to this

205
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:34,300
till then stay tune guys, I'm your Sailendiran 
signing-off for 'follow jack'.

206
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,200
"classical music"

207
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:44,100
"classical music"

208
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,000
"classical music"

209
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:53,900
"classical music"

210
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,900
