Rishikesh from Kapurthala in March — FAQs
The International Yoga Festival (IYF), held annually in the first week of March at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, is the world's largest yoga gathering. Over 7 days, 100+ world-class yoga teachers offer sessions in Hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini, Yin, and Vedantic traditions. Attendance is open to all — passes range from day visitor to full residential. Mornings begin at 5 AM with Ganga Aarti on the banks, followed by continuous yoga programming until evening satsang.
Rishikesh has a unique relationship with Holi — many ashrams observe it spiritually rather than with colored powder. The main Holi celebrations happen in Haridwar's market areas and are good-natured but boisterous. Laxman Jhula area celebrates more freely. Rishikesh is safer for Holi than major cities. Keep valuables secured, wear old clothes, and avoid solo celebrations in unfamiliar areas after dark.
Yes — the adventure activities and IYF run simultaneously. A popular itinerary is morning yoga sessions at Parmarth Niketan, afternoon rafting or bungee, evening satsang at the festival. The rafting operators around Laxman Jhula are 10 minutes from the festival grounds. Bungee at Jumpin Heights requires a half-day — schedule it on a day with fewer IYF sessions you want to attend.
