About
The most famous landmark of Rishikesh, this 137-metre iron suspension bridge spans the Ganges at a height of 21 metres. Legend says Lord Lakshmana crossed the river here on a jute rope. Originally built in 1929, the bridge was closed to traffic in 2020 due to structural concerns but remains an iconic symbol of Rishikesh.
